Yoga Journal USA – June 2017

PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL MILLER

Next time you take a yoga class,


notice who’s in the room. Chances


are it’s a pretty homogeneous


crowd (read: white and thin with


disposable income, mostly female).


But the benefits of the practice


know no boundaries of race,


gender, size, physical ability,


or socioeconomic status. Here,


the deeply personal stories of four


pioneers who, inspired by their


own unique experiences with yoga,


are changing the face of the practice


and uniting us all in the process.
