Dear John,

Join renowned yoga therapists and educators Marilyn Peppers-Citizen, E-RYT500, C-IAYT, and Charlene Muhammad, E-RYT500, C-IAYT, as they delve into the rich tapestry of traditional spiritual practices within the Black community.

Marilyn is a certified yoga therapist, national board-certified health and wellness coach, and clinic faculty for the MUIH Master of Science in Yoga Therapy program. Charlene holds a Master of Science degree in Herbal Medicine and is a licensed dietitian. Both are members of the Black Yoga Teachers Alliance Board of Directors.
