Summary

As students and teachers we have a responsibility to look at who is missing in our yoga classes, healing circles and retreats. Healing tools should be available to all! Making a change begins with recognizing just how far we are from equity and diversity in the wellness industry - and taking active steps toward change, every day. This week Rachel is joined by the fantastically fierce Nicole Cardoza (@nicoleacardoza on Instagram). Nicole is a yoga teacher, wellness expert, entrepreneur, investor and more! As a strong voice in the anti-racism movement, Nicole is the visionary behind Yoga Foster and Reclamation Ventures, two organizations that are bridging the gap in the wellness industry and making tools for healing accessible to all. This episode will guide you on how to diversify your yoga practice, support marginalized voices within the wellness field, and change the face of the wellness industry. Now is a time to shine a light on the spaces we turn toward for healing – and who is missing from them.
