I did something amazing one night without even thinking about it, I searched the phrase: Black yogis on YouTube. The results that popped up weren’t what I expected. During previous attempts, I found little to no black yogis on social media. But this time was different — numerous videos of beautiful black yogis surfaced. I had to pick my jaw up off of the floor, I was so excited. I didn’t expect to find so many hidden gems.
I spent the next few minutes scrolling through the selections and started subscribing to pages and saving videos for later. I’ll continue to filter through the selections and share what I believe is interesting and have importance, but I want to encourage you to complete the search as well and support our yogi brothers and sisters.
The video above immediately caught my attention and touches on something that is so relevant today — do black people practice yoga? It’s such a great conversation starter and a topic that I personally believe does not receive enough attention.
I want to know your thoughts, do you practice yoga? And are there other black people in your class? Let us know in the comments below!
