If you have ever felt unwelcome, unheard, or disempowered, you will relate to the content of today's conversation between Rachel and Nicole Calhoun, PhD. Nicole has an undergraduate degree in Biology, a PhD in molecular genetics, and years of experience as a post-doctoral researcher, but has pivoted to working as a yoga teacher and studio owner.
After being told she "didn't belong" in a yoga studio, Nicole was inspired to open her own space, becoming the change she wanted to see in her community. She shares her experience with racism in the yoga world and explains why she has decided to put diversity and inclusion in yoga at the forefront of her career.
Listen in as Nicole talks about how she uses a physically challenging yoga practice to support herself and her community and offers concrete actions we can take all address the lack of diversity in yoga.
