The Afro Yoga Podcast

Shakeelah Sutton from D.C. graces us with her wisdom, insight and reflections in part 2 of our series. She speaks about discovering yoga as a tool that helped her deal with the discomfort of her autoimmune disease and how it ignited her passion to share the power of yoga with others. She also speaks about breaking free of generational trauma and teaching yoga to kids in the school system. This episode is loaded with gems, enjoy the listen. 

In this special 4 part series we talk with London Lucille, a graduate of our Decolonize Your Teaching Mentorship Program on her journey towards entrepreneurship. London shares with us her experience of defending yoga teachers of color, getting fired from a yoga studio for speaking up and how growing her business ethically and with service at the center has made all the difference. This was a powerful discussion, we hope you enjoy it.

Our Mental Health Therapist and co-host Nicole Carter spoke beautifully and warmly to how we can tend to our mental wellness. From how our brain is naturally wired, to bringing unison between the mind and heart to interrupting our innate stress response — this episode is FULL with gems on self-love. In addition, we discussed the parallels to how we can use what we experience in our yoga practice in our everyday lives. Enjoy the episode!

An unexpected turn of events when Nicole takes a long moment to celebrate Angie and IG live goes crazy in support of it. True community building at it's finest. In a second turn of events, the conversation cuts short as Angie's iPhone charger decides to not let her be great and stops working. Although the conversation got cut short, it was a worthy and beautiful listen.

In this episode of the Decolonize Your Teaching series, Angie and Nicole talk about the importance of a visual brand identity. They touch on colors, fonts and imagery as the foundation to your brand and how to convey that authentically to connect with your audience. 

Note: Apologies for the background noise, I wasn't in my usual location.
