This was the beginning of introducing mindfulness to the application, including yoga and meditation as new activities. It has led us to widen our scope and look at teroGO as a place of wellness beyond simply distance sports. Today, a lot of our teroGO Campaigns include other mindful activities like gardening and cooking. 

So how can we each begin to do the work?

I personally started with my own experience looking at specifically the practice of yoga, as we celebrate this international celebration. I have been lucky to practice in a lot of different San Francisco yoga studios and I have very rarely rolled out my mat next to a black yogi or yogini. Out of the 35 yogis and yoginis that were a part of my yoga teacher training, not a single one was black. I then started looking at my instagram following, how many black yoga teachers was I learning from? Very few. Then, as I continued on my teaching journey, I looked out at the studios and rooms I was holding space for, noticing that 90% of the rooms were filled with white women.
