Diversity has always been an integral part of Woo Woo Company. I started the company because the wellness industry needs more diversity and different perspectives. Sasha and I connected on our shared experiences in wellness and as first-generation Americans. She also shared the subconscious bias people have when they see a black person in a fitness studio. We were vulnerable in the experiences we shared with each other and thus, with you.
What We Chat About:
The Black Experience in Wellness
What a “Room Check” is for People of Color
Need and Value of Representation
Existing in Majority White Spaces
Energy and Frequency
Morning and Evening Routines

Sasha Whitney is a DMV based cycling instructor and meditation facilitator with years of experience in the fitness and wellness industry and a passion for health, wellness, inclusion, and diversity within these spaces. A dynamic leader within this industry and someone who leads with the belief there is always room for more and to build a bigger table, Sasha is motivated by the desire everyone to come as they are and feel that there is space for them inside the studio/ gym, on and off the bike/ mat. It is Sasha’s ultimate goal in this space for it to be transformed into one that is truly diverse and inclusive, where we value what everyone brings to the table and are able to look beyond what is on the outside.
