Closing The Wellness Gap with Nicole Cardoza Ep.16 The Business Of Teaching Yoga
-
- Alternative Therapien
Nicole is one of those people that I definitely felt was way too cool to talk to me, especially since we scheduled the interview, Nicole is now the face of Nike's Spring 2020 Yoga campaign. Not to mention her plentiful accolades, multiple not-for-profit businesses and the fact that she is an all around changemaker in wellness - I felt truly lucky to have the opportunity to speak with her. I first learned of Nicoles work, sadly, due to the mess that Yoga Journal made after her cover shoot last June.
Since that time, I’ve been watching Nicole spread her message of reclaiming wellness, closing the wellness gap and making wellness accessible to all. She’s taken what could have been a career defining controversy, and parleid it into a launch pad for equity and justice. #impressed
ABOUT NICOLE
Nicole is a serial entrepreneur passionate about the reclamation of wellness. As the founder and Executive Director of Yoga Foster, a national nonprofit that empowers educators with yoga and mindfulness resources for the classroom, she’s re-invested over $2.5M in resources from the wellness community to increase the health equity of schools across the country.
After controversy with Yoga Journal over her cover feature for their August / September 2019 issue, Nicole’s work and mission went viral. From that experience, she launched Reclamation Ventures, a fund that invests in high-potential, underestimated entrepreneurs making wellness more accessible in their communities.
In today's show, Nicole and I discuss:
What the Wellness Gap isWhy inclusivity is deeper than who you put on your marketing materialsHow to make your business truly inclusive, and bring wellness to allWhy true inclusivity starts with the people behind the business A concrete way to start unpacking our own blind spots, and do the work to create inclusivity from the insideIntention vs. ImpactA definition of IntentionA definition of ImpactThe best analogy of intention vs. impact I’ve ever heardSpiritual bypassing in the yoga community to avoid accountabilityCommunity Care & Healing JusticeBuilding community into every part of your practiceHow the wellness industry operates within capitalism Unpacking what community really meansStarting a social impact organizationDeciding on a not-for-profit or for profit business structureUnderstanding not-for-profitsMission creep - what it is, and how to prevent itFIND NICOLE
