The event will emphasize yoga’s transformative powers in connection to the mind, body, and soul during sessions that combine physicality and spirituality. [Even practical lessons (opens in a new tab)](http://texasyogaconference.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/TYCSched2015FINAL.pdf) such as “Confident Handstands” and “Get Your Stretch On” are rooted in self-empowerment. The conference will also highlight the importance of creating inclusive spaces where all yogis, especially women, can thrive. The [Red Tent initiative (opens in a new tab)](http://texasyogaconference2015.sched.org/event/c8dc3c29ed32b54bde0d7c39cea5a9c3) offers a safe space where women are free to be themselves and support one another. And a session called “Embodying the Goddess Within” will invite both men and women to tap into their inner goddesses. Attendees can keep these lessons going strong long after the last *namastes* have been exchanged. “Let’s take YOGA beyond ASANA: Yoga Gives Back Special Talk” will encourage yogis to support women and children in India, the birthplace of the ancient practice. ### The Week Ahead: **February 25-28:** As the largest academic meeting of minority physicists in the United States, the [National Society of Black Physicists (opens in a new tab)](http://www.nsbp.org/) ’ [2015 Annual Conference (opens in a new tab)](http://www.cvent.com/events/2015-conference-of-the-national-society-of-black-physicists/event-summary-9542fa54797046619cedb27434710980.aspx) in Baltimore will challenge scientists of color to stand at the forefront with the theme “Re-Visioning the Future of Scientific Leadership.” “We believe that in order for the American scientific community to continue down a positive path of growth, we must revise and alter the current path of scientific leadership,” NSBP President Paul Gueye [says in an address (opens in a new tab)](https://custom.cvent.com/66634FB63B6F4408A3A552D47EF7EBD1/files/event/9542FA54797046619CEDB27434710980/081e0047b2b2480a817e69a8505a0c29.pdf) in the conference program. **February 27-March 1:** The [67th Annual Meeting (opens in a new tab)](http://aacte.org/professional-development-and-events/annual-meeting) of the [American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (opens in a new tab)](http://aacte.org/) in Atlanta will focus on the four principles by which members abide: the Moral Imperative: Diversity and Inclusion; the Profession Imperative: Marketing and Promoting the Profession; the Curricular Imperative: Innovative Practices That Embrace the New Landscape of Teaching and Teacher Education; and the Research Imperative: Measuring the Impact of Teacher Education. ### Down the Line: **February 28-March 3:** The [46th Annual Meeting (opens in a new tab)](https://www.aasv.org/annmtg/) of the [American Association of Swine Veterinarians (opens in a new tab)](https://www.aasv.org/) in Orlando will encourage attendees to strive for excellence with the theme “Beyond Our Oath: Integrity, Intensity, Professionalism.” As program chair Dr. Ron Brodersen [says in a program message (opens in a new tab)](https://www.aasv.org/annmtg/2015/program.pdf) to attendees, “In the media and society at large, there are groups that are confronting the role of the veterinarian as an authority on animal well-being … I challenge our association to improve our image as respected professionals on the health and welfare of the pig.” (shironosov/ThinkStock) [Julia Haskins](https://associationsnow.com/author/julia-haskins/) Julia Haskins is a contributor to Associations Now.
