Diversity, inclusiveness and accessibility are much needed in the yoga space. As someone who has pretty much always been the only Black man in the yoga studio, it's important that we break down the assumptions and perceptions about what yoga is and who yoga is for. Because I once thought that yoga wasn’t for me, and that I was excluded from it. But I gave it a shot, and it changed my life. Yoga isn’t about image or aspiration. To me, it's a sacred ritual, it's an everyday phy...
