About Us

Welcome to Yoga in Black, a platform dedicated to uplifting the voices and talents of yoga instructors and holistic wellness professionals around the world.  

At the apex of the Black Lives Matter movement in the Spring/Summer of 2020, Tereney McDowell (creator and host of the original Instagram Live streams) felt a shift in the world in regard to representation in many different arenas.  The yoga world in the US has been long overdue for a representation overhaul. 

Yoga in Black was created as a means to be a hub of black yoga instructors and holistic wellness professionals.  Giving our supporters the opportunity to hear their voices and see their faces upfront to get to know them.  Yoga is a deeply personal practice, and it matters who you choose to guide you through it.  Yoga in Black serves as a place where you can find your instructor or studios can find instructors to hire.   

Transitioning from solely an Instagram live broadcast and social media platform to a podcast has always been the vision for Yoga in Black; formerly DFW Yoga in Black.
