Podcasting Is the New Kink!

3 Yoga Benefits for Black Women with Adi Kaur


Listen Later

What is the main difference between yoga and exercise? Mindful breath. When you practice yoga asanas, you are breathing into and out of poses. When you exercise, you may not be breathing at all. Adi Kaur goes more into detail about this in episode #52 of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, and she goes in! Adi is the owner and founder of Inglenook Yoga - the first Black Owned Yoga Studio in Birmingham Alabama, and we have a really dope conversation about bringing vision to life, benefits of yoga, and education vs. fear.


We talk:

Raising the money to build her studio - 4:29

Being introduced to yoga on a date - 13:33

Benefits of yoga - 20:58

How yoga is not a religion/demonic - 33:38

Building a stronger connection to the divine - 41:39


Adi is a true believer and you can really hear the divine speaking through her. She talks about the importance of walking like a child of God, and not just when it benefits you. Her yoga studio started as a vision in her head, but she manifested it by speaking it into existence everyday, planning ahead, and putting herself in the position to receive. One of my favorite topics was about how many of us limit God. We forget that we are human and can't even fathom the power and intellect of the divine, but she reminds us that God is in everything, and prayer goes both ways. We just have to be still and listen!


So what are the 3 yoga benefits for Black women:

  1. Helps you to advocate for yourself and stand in truth
  2. Helps you heal from trauma, personal and generational 
  3. Helps you stay curious about your body


Ya'll this conversation was so good, I had to split it in half, so stay tuned for part 2, coming soon!
