Beyond the Mat: Yoga, Leadership, and Community Care

Saturday April 25, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am MST

Dry Creek Ballroom

As yoga continues to expand globally, teachers are increasingly called to examine not just how they teach, but why. In this experiential and discussion-based session, Kate Herrera Jenkins invites participants to explore yoga as an act of service rather than performance. Drawing from her lived Indigenous experience, leadership coaching background, and over many years of teaching, Kate offers a grounded framework for teaching that centers humility, responsibility, and relationship.

The session blends gentle movement, guided inquiry, and group reflection to explore key questions facing modern yoga professionals: How do we teach from lived experience rather than borrowed narratives? What does cultural humility look like in contemporary yoga spaces? How can we move beyond aesthetic-driven practices and toward teaching that truly serves diverse communities? Participants are encouraged to reflect honestly on their role as leaders, educators, and stewards of the practice.

Designed for yoga teachers and seasoned practitioners, you'll leave with renewed clarity around your teaching purpose, tools for cultivating integrity in your offerings, and a deeper understanding of how embodied leadership on the mat can translate into meaningful service within your community.
