Parker Holloway (he/him)
Parker’s yoga and meditation practice is rooted in the genuine desire to help individuals connect to their bodies, their hearts, and to one in another in a community setting (whether virtually or in-person). Parker believes in collective liberation, meaning that all of our struggles are intimately connected and that social justice cannot be separated from the practice of yoga. Through nourishing our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies we are better positioned to support our community and thus help each other find their own version of liberation.
The way this shows up in Parker’s teaching, both on and off the mat, is in a space that is intentional, warm, accessible, and inclusive. Parker believes that every being that wants to come to class, more than deserves to be there. Through approachable poses, inclusive language, and a welcoming demeanor, he hopes to simply hold space and offer guidance to his students, emphasizing that students have agency over their own practice.
Parker was first introduced to a regular yoga practice in 2012 while living in Chicago. Like many folks, Parker started practicing yoga purely to “workout” and it was not until he started attending Sangha in 2016, he realized just how much more there is to yoga. Graduating from Sangha’s 200 YTT in August of 2020, Parker has immersed himself in his new role as “teacher”, as a means to give back to his community and share this lifestyle he feels so passionate about.
