Race & Racism in the Yoga Industry (with Chanelle John & Alex)

  • Zoom via JP Centre Yoga (map)

We are witnessing a collective awakening to the truth that the communities of color have known for generations: white communities and communities of color, particularly the black community, live in vastly different versions of America. Communities, companies and organizations are grappling with the role they play in perpetuating injustice and their responsibilities to own and act on that role. The injustices that play out in our society are mirrored in our yoga studios and wellness spaces. They play out in our yoga classes, our hiring practices, yoga teacher trainings, marketing, and more. Join us via livestream to learn the ways racism and exclusion are perpetuated in our industry. Together we will brainstorm what yoga studios and students can do to make yoga communities, and society as a whole, equitable and inclusive for all.
