Pamela:

Thank you for your words. I applaud your movement toward demystifying the ways of the Yogi; particularly in our community. This along with other health approaches, i.e. therapy, etc. is often shunned and misunderstood as meant to be “weird” of even for the non-African American demographic(s). However, more light need be shed on these amazing forms of and approaches to our overall health and wellness. I celebrate you and cannot wait to meet you and sit in one of your classes. Be well.

Namaste

I concur that we need to focus more on health; indeed, one of the reasons I became a certified yoga instructor was to introduce something that’s healthy to some who still think its weird. Ignorance is not bliss in this instance. And I love you statement: “Here’s the truth: just because this is the way it has always been does not mean this is the way it always has to be.” So many of us say “my mother has heart disease so I will” and the truth is you can reclaim your body which is “divinely crafted.” Once we recognize that reality then no excuse, no thing can stand in our way.
