Our Mission |
The Yoga Diversity Initiative’s mission is to make the
practice of yoga more accessible to People of Color.

Our Approach
The Yoga Diversity Initiative
was born from the awareness of the economic and cultural barriers that can make
yoga inaccessible to People of Color. We recognize there are communities
of color who would benefit from yoga practice if classes were more accessible
to them.
We believe yoga teachers of color can play a critical role in bringing yoga to these communities. Our primary approach to addressing issues of access is supporting scholarships for yoga students of color to attend yoga teacher trainings. Yoga Diversity Initiative facilitators provide mentorship, resources and networking opportunities to the scholarship recipients.
We provide information for People of Color in Boston looking for culturally sensitive yoga practices. In addition to serving practitioners, we also provide resources to yoga studios and teachers on improving yoga accessibility to marginalized populations.
