We explore the historical lack of representation of Black persons, Indigenous Peoples and People of Colour in the Western yoga sphere and the barriers that affect their access to the yoga practice in general, such as racism, discrimination and implicit bias.
We connect the social justice movement to the practice of yoga beyond our mats, and the ways we can all actively and intentionally participate in fostering safer spaces for racialized communities.
