Description
We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves. ~Dalai Lama
On Saturday March 2, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia, Melanated Chakras Yoga Conference gears up to its 3rd year to serve an exhilarating life-changing experience to the multitudes. All levels are welcomed and encouraged from the first-timers and novices, who may be first getting introduced to the awesome benefits of yoga, to the yoga enthusiasts who can't live without their daily dose of invigorating indulgence.
In this beautiful time of self-empowerment, it is imperative to find fun and exciting ways to maintain mental, physical, and spiritual wellness, as striving for maximum health should be the foundation for all of our successes, as it helps in the manifestation of our most loftiest of goals.
"This is a spectacular opportunity to participate in classes with many styles of yoga all in one place. The atmosphere is one where you won't feel intimidated by what you don't know, and where one will feel completely comfortable just being among great people who are coming together to have an extraordinary time and learn freely with an open mind. Our expectations are high and the response has been phenomenal! We are really excited about the fact that yoga is spreading like wildfire in the Melanated community where chronic disease tends to be so prevalent. And, we are extremely grateful to have some of the best and most dynamic instructors that anyone can ask for. Each Teacher will be focusing in a different Chakra!

About Moving Art Experience
Founded in 2015, the Moving Art Experience was created as a platform within the minority community to connect the world of art and yoga. The event itself is a unique celebration of unity combining live body painting, the art of yoga, live performances, music, vendors, and so much more. As art & yoga is known to be a form of therapy for some & a passion for others, the goal of the show is to inspire anyone who attends to become their true self as the artist and yogis do in the freedom of life and love.

Bailey Brinson - (Root Chakra)
Yoga has been a part of Bailey's life for over 8 years, and my practice has helped me grow happier, stronger and healthier both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindfully.
I completed my Practical Yoga Instructor Training with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. I will always be a student of the practice and am deeply grateful for the loving wisdom my teachers have shared with me.
In my classes, I love to teach Beginners Vinyasa Yoga. Giving students a solid foundation of the practice, increasing their strength, balance and flexibility, encouraging deep breathing and a dose of inspiration to help you "Be the Blessing". I seek to help others be the best version of themselves with yoga, and my hope is that you step off the mat feeling grateful, fulfilled and present.

XpJ Seven - (Crown Chakra)
XpJ Seven has been practicing yoga on and off since 2000. I completed a 200 hrs teacher training at Atlanta Hot Yoga in 2006 under the meticulous eye on the incredible Avril James Hunt. I've grown pretty consistent with my practice in the last five years. I practice primarily a form of self-care.
I teach to share alternative methods of self-empowerment and self-help. My teaching style is direct, challenging with lots of smiles and laughter (if you're not having fun you're doing it wrong! Ha) I'm inspired by seeing people grow into stronger, more authentic versions of themselves and I hope I can assist in that in some fashion. My interests are poetry, martial arts.
1:20pm - 2:20pm Class
Evan "Eazy" Hall - (Solar Chakra)
Evan “Eazy” Hall found yoga as many of us do, when he needed it the most. Over indulgence of a sedentary lifestyle led to constant back pain and crippling respiratory issues. It was in the ER where his girlfriend suggested that he do some research into the world of yoga. Shortly after being introduced to yoga he knew that one day he had to share the practice that not only healed his body, but changed his perception of himself and the world around him.
He has been sharing his ever evolving practice for over 4 years now with classes ranging from Hatha Yoga to Rocket Yoga and even specialty handstand and mobility classes. A fun and charismatic individual you can expect plenty of laughter, a good work out, lots of inversions, and a welcoming atmosphere in all of Eazy’s classes.

Kymmi Cordovez - (Throat Chakra)
Kymmi is a small-town Jersey-bred fitness nerd who geeks out on fascial release methods, green juices and inversions. After graduating from Rutgers University, Kymmi started her career post-grad as a digital marketing specialist in the music + media + entertainment world. Working underneath the likes of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Russell Simmons, Kymmi is no stranger to the beautiful chaos that comes with life and its triumphs.
In 2014 a devastating knee injury robbed Kymmi of her mobility. What began as turmoil and confusion ended in enlightenment and blessings beyond imagination. In search of movement and mobility, this injury led her back to an old flame: yoga. And this go around was different, like an old coat that she never realized she had loved so much. Kymmi fell in love. The practice was able to bring her the same challenges and satisfaction that any workout could while both stimulating and nourishing her mind. The relationship, like any worthwhile union, is still blossoming, transforming and growing.
Kymmi’s mission is help people maximize their performance and their lives by gaining increased body + mind awareness and flexibility. Kymmi is certified in Fascial Stretch Therapy™ Level 2, Yoga, Cupping, and Cycling.
Kymmi offers a wide array of practice methods that have been tailored to desk warriors, fitness professionals and athletes in the NFL, NBA, CLF, MLB and MLS. When Kymmi's not posing inverted, she loves reading, traveling, running and, of course, handstands.
