As the incredibly insightful Nya Daley points out very succinctly in this interview, if you didn’t notice a difference in the way that Black people were treated in most studios in North America (and maybe beyond) after the summer of 2020, then you really weren’t paying attention. In this episode, Nya skillfully unpacks the position of Black movement and meditation teachers in studios and paths to creating the right opportunities for all teachers and practitioners.
