48: 3 steps to create a more inclusive yoga business
We believe that we each have a responsibility to play our part in creating a more racially just world. We need to start with ourselves, we need to do the inner work, we need to learn, we need to listen. When we start with ourselves it gives us an opportunity to look at our own circle of influence, our own behaviours, and our own belief systems. If we look at our own circle of influence and the impact that we have individually on the world, this extends and applies to our business - this is a place where you can start to create change. We invite you to be part of this work, to share your knowledge and experiences so that together we can learn and support one another to become more aware of the issues and to commit to showing up for this work - becoming an imperfect ally, diversifying our businesses and adjusting our values to support equity, diversity and inclusion. 👊🏿👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏻 Topics covered: The importance of taking action to create an inclusive business Commiting to your own ongoing anti-racism work Connect to WHY you want to do this work Diversifing your circle of influence Focusing on building relationships with your new circle of influence The ripple effect Extra resources: Kelly McHuhg’s Interview with Michelle Johnson: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CEUfxq6FuvD/ Podcasts: Yoga Talk - The Importance of Activism and Meditation During the Pandemic Recommended reading: "Me and White Supremacy" by Layla F Saad "Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race" - Reni Eddo-Lodge "White Fragility" by Robin Diangelo “Skill in Action: Radicalizing Your Yoga Practice to Create a Just World” by Michelle C Johnson Accounts to follow: Rachel Cargle Layla F Saad Holiday Phillips Munroe Bergdorf Candice Brathwaite The Digital Yoga Academy Facebook group is a community of thousands of yoga teachers all over the world.
