Ep. 97 - Souljourn: Exploring the World and Empowering Women through Yoga

Can we meaningfully combine passions for travel and self-care with advocacy? In this episode, Jordan Ashley, TEDx speaker and human rights advocate, shares what inspired her to create Souljourn Yoga Foundation, a nonprofit that uses yoga retreats to raise awareness and funds for young women’s education worldwide. Jordan is joined by Joanne Silver, a yoga teacher trained in Reiki and reflexology who has co-led mission-driven retreats in Domenica, Rwanda, Peru and more. Jordan and Joanne discuss how these retreats provide participants with opportunities to immerse themselves in new places and cultures while also helping to enhance girls' access to education and opportunities. They also spoke about their upcoming retreat to Morocco in October 2025.To learn more about Jordan Ashley, Souljourn Yoga, and the upcoming Moroccan retreat, visit: https://www.souljournyoga.com/To learn more about Joanne Silver and her classes, private yoga instruction, her upcoming Catskills yoga retreat (with Kelley Curran, August 2025) and more, visit: https://joannesilver.comFor more on Traci Stein, her guided meditations, upcoming events, and more, visit: https://www.drtracistein.com/ or follow on social media: https://www.facebook.com/DrTSteinhttps://www.instagram.com/drtracistein/ and https://www.youtube.com/tracisteinphd
