Equity has been top of mind, and even a trending topic in the past few years. This concept has had many teachers and business owners taking stock of how they are, or often are not, creating intentional spaces for all voices and bodies within their yoga businesses.

This notion also extends to wellness entrepreneurship for professionals of color and particularly yoga teachers who haven't felt welcome in traditional studio and wellness spaces.

Today we are joined by the incredible Angie Franklin, Founder and CEO of Afro Yoga, who shares generously from her vast experience in teaching, entrepreneurship, and creating safe space for practitioners and teachers of color to flourish in their practice and business.

Angie founded Afro Yoga, a global platform with local roots that offers yoga with a social justice lens and emphasis on community connection. As a wellness entrepreneur, certified Kemetic and Vinyasa yoga instructor and business mentor, Angie's work is focused on increasing access to wealth and wellness for practitioners and professionals of color.

She is also a 3X Lululemon ambassador and has worked with clients that include the NBA, international Lululemon leadership teams, Microsoft, Duolingo, Kaiser Permanente, Rebbl and many more.

Today, we discuss the need for white yoga teachers and business owners must prioritize progress over comfort to make lasting change, why it's important for teachings to reach beyond traditional yoga spaces and how wellness entrepreneurs of color can thrive in business today.
