Black History Month: Honoring Community & Looking Forward in Yoga and Wellness

As Black History Month comes to a close, we turn our attention to community—and to the path forward. Reflection, joy, healing, and rest are not meant to live in isolation. They are strengthened through relationship, shared intention, and collective care. In yoga and wellness spaces, community is not simply who practices alongside us—it is how we choose to show up for one another, now and in the future. Black history reminds us that community has always been a cornerstone of survival, resistance, and transformation. In the face of exclusion and inequity, Black communities have cultivated spaces of mutual support, creativity, spiritual grounding, and care. These traditions ....

Black History Month: Honoring Healing & Rest in Yoga and Wellness

As we continue our Black History Month reflections, we turn toward healing and rest—practices that are deeply rooted in both yoga philosophy and Black ancestral wisdom. For Black communities, rest has never been neutral. It has often been denied, delayed, or framed as something to be earned. And yet, rest has always existed as a powerful form of resistance, restoration, and survival. Healing is not linear, nor is it one-size-fits-all. In Black history and lived experience, healing has shown up in community care, spiritual practice, storytelling, prayer, movement, and moments of stillness carved out despite ongoing oppression. Rest, in this context, is not disengagement—it ....

Black History Month: Honoring Joy, Creativity, and Expression in Yoga & Wellness

While honoring history and acknowledging harm are essential, Black History Month also invites us to celebrate something just as powerful: joy. Within Black communities, joy has always been an act of resilience, creativity, and liberation. It is woven into movement, music, storytelling, rest, laughter, and collective care. In yoga and wellness spaces, making room for Black joy is not separate from the work—it is the work. Joy and creativity are deeply embodied practices. Long before yoga entered Western studios, Black communities across the African diaspora cultivated practices of rhythm, breath, dance, and spiritual connection as ways to process grief, build strength, and express ....

Honoring Black History Month: History & Acknowledgment of BIPOC in Yoga and Wellness

Black History Month offers an opportunity not only to celebrate Black excellence, resilience, and cultural impact, but also to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the deeper histories that shape our present. Within the yoga and wellness community, this reflection is especially important. Yoga is a practice rooted in ancient South Asian spiritual traditions, yet its modern expression—particularly in Western spaces—has often centered whiteness while marginalizing or erasing the Black, Indigenous, and racially marginalized practitioners, teachers, and healers who have sustained and expanded these practices for generations. This month we extend the invitation to look more ....
