Yoga was always meant to travel with us.
The practices of yoga offer far more than movement; they ask us to pay attention.
To notice what shapes our choices. To examine our relationships with ourselves and one another. To become more discerning about where our energy goes, what captures our attention, and how we respond when life becomes complicated.
They invite us to practice steadiness without rigidity, care without depletion, and responsibility without losing ourselves inside everything we carry.
A space to study yoga's teachings slowly enough to live with them.
Over three months, we’ll use the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Eight-Limb Path as a map for exploring the life already unfolding around you.
You don’t need to be a yoga teacher or scholar. You need curiosity, a willingness to practice, and an interest in discovering what yoga can offer when we let it move beyond the edges of the mat.
For People Who Care Deeply
You already know how to show up. You care for people, teach, lead a team, run a business, organize, advocate, create, parent, serve a community—or carry responsibilities that don’t come with a title.
Your attention and energy travel outward every day.
Changemakers creates space to turn some of that attention toward your own practice.
-
What helps me remain steady when I’m carrying a lot?
-
Where is my energy flowing, and where is it leaking?
-
What has my attention right now, and did I consciously choose it?
-
How can my practice shape the way I work, relate, lead, and participate in the world?
These aren’t questions we answer once, they become part of practice.
How the Changemakers Collective Works
A three-month rhythm of study, practice + community. Each week builds upon the last while leaving room for the teachings to settle into your actual life.
What We Will Explore

WEEKS 1-5
Establishing the Ground
We begin with the foundations of practice: creating steadiness, exploring the Eight-Limb Path, and noticing how our patterns, relationships, and responsibilities shape our experience. Through the Yamas and a deep reflection of the Self, we bring yoga's ethical teachings into everyday life.
WEEKS 6-10
Deepening the Practice
We deepen our exploration of the Niyamas, intention, ritual, and the relationship between attention and action. We experiment with practices that support reflection, creativity, and a sustainable rhythm of living.
WEEKS 11-13
Living the Teachings
We turn toward discernment, leadership, and collective responsibility. Drawing on the Yoga Sutras, we explore how awareness shapes our participation in the world and develop a personal Living Integration to carry the teachings forward.

Rest + Integration
Throughout the program, two dedicated weeks of rest and integration offer space to revisit the teachings, deepen your practice, and let what you're learning settle into your daily life.
Meet Your Guide
I'm Kristin Schultz (she/they), founder of Zia Yoga & Wellness and creator of the Changemakers Collective.
For decades, my work has centered on understanding human behavior: how we think, make decisions, navigate relationships, lead organizations, and shape the communities around us. My professional background spans leadership consulting, transformational leadership, consumer behavior, and marketing, alongside years of building and leading organizations.
I'm endlessly curious about the intersection of science and spirit. I can happily spend hours exploring neuroscience and the complexities of human behavior, then find myself equally captivated by the intelligence of the natural world or the wisdom held within an ancient teaching.
My path through yoga has brought these interests into deeper conversation. Through thousands of hours of training, teaching, and self-study with teachers from around the world, I've explored yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, therapeutic and trauma-aware practices, and the relationship between personal practice and social responsibility. My students have been among my greatest teachers, continually challenging me to explore how these teachings live beyond the pages of a book.
Changemakers Collective is a gathering of my life's work.
It brings together decades of professional experience, the wisdom of my teachers, the lessons of my students, and my own ongoing practice of living and leading with intention.
I'm honored to guide this experience, bringing both rigorous inquiry and a deep reverence for yoga's roots. These are teachings I return to every day, and I'm excited to explore what becomes possible when we study and practice them together.
