Yoga in Color
Join an Inclusive Community of Yogis
"If you knew nothing about yoga other than what you saw in popular culture, it would be easy to assume that yoga is only
for certain people.
Different body types, abilities and ethnicities are not always represented in the yoga community. This lack of
representation can deter potential practitioners from starting their yoga practice in the first place. In a world
fraught with chronic health problems, mental illness and stress, the world needs yoga more than ever. We can’t afford to
turn people away from yoga, even if it’s completely unintentional.
As an organization committed to promoting and supporting the diversity and integrity of yoga, we want to start a
national—if not international—dialogue about bringing more diverse populations to yoga. And we don’t just mean racial
diversity—diversity includes all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and abilities."
