Founder and Director at Our Colourful Yoga / Notre yoga coloré - Montreal, Québec, Canada
Our Colourful Yoga is a non-profit organization/community formed by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) yoga and mindfulness practitioners in Montreal. In this brave space, we believe in the powerful benefits of holistic wellness. We hold a sacred space for fellow BIPOC to come together to breathe, move, and honour yoga.Our Colourful Yoga strives to set in motion radical shifts in how we embody yoga and wellness within the city, province and the world. By creating a BIPOC-centered community and appointing BIPOC as board members within the organization, OCY aims to evolve the narrative of the health and wellness industries. We believe diverse representation matters. When we see reflections of ourselves in leaders and community members, we recognize the inherent worthiness to be well. It encourages us to become a leader in every aspect of our life.We are inspired by anti-oppression work, social justice and transformative justice in our operations. We honour the traditions and lineages of yoga – and are committed to educating ourselves on the history and philosophies of the practice. We believe in the transformative power of a holistic yoga practice.
