Gabrielle Roberts first yoga class was not a pleasant one. She was the only woman of color and she planned not to return following that experience. Eventually, she found her way to yoga instructor Sanáa Jaman (@ladydork) and everything changed. She felt welcome and more connected to this amazing tool of yoga and decided to share it with others; especially with others that looked like her.
Today, she's the founder of 612 Jungle, a hip-hop yoga studio in Northeast Minneapolis. She built this community with passion, bravery, and laughter and now it's stronger than ever.
On this episode Gabrielle shares her story of opening her studio, her hopes for the yoga community moving forward, and what she does to stay grounded while running a yoga studio and working full-time.
