SOULGA SANGHA 4.0
A community-centered mentorship program led by racialized Yoga teachers.
a Mentorship program by us for all.
The SOULGA SANGHA is a virtual, 13-week, community-centered mentorship program that supports the growth of Yoga teachers as thriving entrepreneurs and leaders within their communities.
Our core intention is to provide sangha members with ample opportunities, within a supportive setting to step into their own unique teaching style, more specifically:
develop their vinyasa teaching skills.
build a deeper sense of community.
deepen their understanding of the 8-limbs of Yoga.
de-colonize their consumption and teaching of Yoga.
refine their entrepreneurial skills and develop their flagship offering.
If you're a Yoga teacher who aspires to teach from an authentic, embodied way while connecting with a diverse community of teachers — then this program was made for you.
The SOULGA SANGA will empower you to envision, create and share your purpose in a holistic, trauma-aware and anti-oppressive way. In the words of Toni Morrison, “You are your greatest gift” this program seeks to remind you of that!

What folks are saying ❤️
Taranee, P.
“Being a part of the first Soulga Sangha was heart opening. I had the pleasure of being mentored by Rochelle Miller and had a wonderful experience with her. I felt she was attentive, compassionate, and extremely kind. She was able to meet me where I was and provide me with helpful advice to help elevate my teaching. The line-up of Sangha teachers was great. You could really feel that every single teacher was invested in your growth whether they were your mentor or not. This was a super special course for me to be a part of and since then have experience massive growth in my teaching and confidence. A big heartfelt thank you to the Soulga family for helping me elevate and grow!”
