I have been practicing yoga off and on for many years at home. Summer 2019, I decided to visitLove Yoga Studio, a local black-owned studio run by a mother/daughter duo. I was having significant pain in my body at the time (from muscle flares), but after attending these yoga classes, I would feel amazing afterward. It was what I needed. Initially, doing the poses(Asanas) was challenging but my body could handle it. As a result, something clicked in my mind one day after class. I had a real gratitude moment where I put my face up to the sun and was thankful for having the pain.
