'Activation' is a collaborative effort of IYTC and Young Men's Ultimate Weekend (YMUW)

IYTC founder and Executive Director Antonio Sausys is proud to partner with Young Men's Ultimate Weekend (YMUW) to produce ‘Activation’. YMUW  is a non-religious, modern rites of passage initiation that allows all young men to freely voice their concerns about becoming a man and acquire the leadership skills necessary for a responsible adulthood. After having the honor of sharing the wisdom and practices of Yoga with these young men at a recent weekend, Antonio was highly impressed with the deep transformational changes that occurred  for both young men and adult male mentors alike.

When brainstorming the idea of a conference specially dedicated to men, Antonio felt the association with IMUW was a perfect match as they have succeeded in creating a new model that brings out the best in modern men. Mark Schillinger, founder of YMUW is a lifelong yogi and a valued presenter at IYTC. His teachings unite the western and eastern approaches to manhood with depth and clarity. IYTC looks forward to co-creating this event together to guide to unfold their full potential. Please check on www.ymuw.org to learn more about this organization.

Here are some words from Mack Schillinger, Founder and Director of YMUW:

YMUW is excited to announce our association with Antonio Sausys, founder and executive director of the International Yoga Therapy Conference,(IYTC) to produce ‘Activation’, a Yoga for Men Conference on November 11 – 13 in San Francisco, CA. IYTC is a forum that explores the specific and profound ways in which yoga can aid in maintaining good health or recovery from illness. The conference also fills a vital role in public health and wellness education, bridging the gap between the yoga and the medical establishment. This year Antonio volunteered at the YMUW teaching yoga to the young men. The young men were excited to know how to tap into the ancient wisdom that yoga provides. Since YMUW creates programs that help young men and adult men improve their health and well being it was an easy fit to combine the resources, wisdom and experience of YMUW and IYTC to create the Activation: Yoga for Men Conference.

YMUW enthusiastically looks forward to what we can co create together to help men increase their physical health, mental clarity and spiritual well being.
