Panel Discussion ~ The Journey From Mat to Manuscript

Saturday July 25, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am EDT

House of Joy

This will be an intimate and inspiring conversation with some of the most influential as well as inspiring teachers of our time, each of whom has contributed their unique voice to the landscape of yoga literature. This is a panel of seasoned teachers who have traversed the space between teaching on the mat and writing on the page. Whether they have written books on philosophy, anatomy, restorative practices, or memoir, these authors have deepened their teaching mission by sharing their wisdom through the printed word. In this panel discussion, moderated by Sierra Hollister, panel guests will share the vulnerability and dedication required to bring their teachings to a wider audience, exploring how writing can be an extension of the teaching role.
