The South Dakota Yoga Gathering was born out of the knowing that yoga exists, yoga matters, yoga lives and breathes in South Dakota…not just on the coasts and in the far reaches of the world; that our local yoga communities are thriving because of a diverse collection of people who both practice and teach; and that when we gather as a collaborative, connected, and cohesive community, we can honor the goodness in each other, embrace each others’ differences, learn from each other, teach each other, and expand the light of yoga together to shine brighter than ever before.
