SOULpreneur Black Yoga Society

On this harrowing story, we hear from Ashalah Husbands, an IT professional by day and sound practitioner/yogi by night, on how postpartum depression led to her discovering her passion for healing. Running Yoga In The Sun at her farm east of Toronto, Husbands opens her space to Black people who want to heal while flowing on a Black-owned farm in the sun. If you've ever delt with postpartum, you must listen to this episode. 

In this episode, Kim Knight and Shanelle McKenzie discuss their journies of connecting, founding The Villij, and how it has literally saved their lives. Discussing everything from their quarter-life crisis to major turning points in their lives, this episode is perfect for anyone in their 20s who feels stuck or confused about their place in the world and want to hear about 3 Black women who've found theirs.

In this episode, we sit down with Trish Curling, who owns Ani O Yoga Studio in Richmond Hill, Canada. Being inspired by her fearless brother, Andrew, Trish left her stable career as a teacher to follow her calling of teaching yoga and healing others. This episode is perfect for anyone interested in what comes with owning a studio and wants to understand the experience of Black Wellness in Toronto -- one of the most multicultural cities in the world that struggles to support the 51% of POC.

This week is full of fun and laughter as I have a deep chat with Delilah, the founder of the huge Facebook group Black Girl's Healing House. We discuss everything from seeking therapy and mental health to monetizing a community. You don't want to miss this episode if you've ever dealt with mental health issues or have interests in starting your own Facebook group.

In our first SOULpreneur episode, we have the honour of chatting with Jana Long, the co-founder of Black Yoga Teachers Alliance and creator of YouTube documentary, "The Uncommon Yogi". We learned what led to the creation of the only documentary that discusses the history of Black yogis, how the yoga landscape changed from 1971 to today, and how to cultivate a yoga practice on and off the mat. Full of amazing stories from her 40+ years in the wellness space, this is an episode you can't afford to miss!
