This book came out last year in 2020, which was really helpful cuz we knew all that was going on in 2020 around race based stress and trauma for the black community.
I just showed you, uh, restorative yoga for ethnic and race based stress and trauma. Uh, she's the author, of course of the book. So she a yoga therapist, an author, a psychologist, and a yoga therapist, educator. She is a C certified, um, international yoga teacher. I'm gonna read a little bit about her bio. Like she's very accomplished and I'm excited to call her friends. She's been on Oprah like six or seven times. She's been she's um, talked about, you know, mental health and wellness as a psychotherapy for over 40 years. She has, uh, recently written a book called restorative yoga for ethnic and race based stress and trauma.
And so we have been in each other's sphere for a long time. And she was often one of the educators, my 200 hour teacher training program when I added a restorative yoga con um, component. I had read a, a blog about her the week before and I got a chance to meet her.Īnd that's how we came in contact with each other. Gail Parker and she was like, whoa, she didn't know I had been stalking her. And with all my excitement and exuberance, if you're not familiar with me, I tend to be excitable. And I would never get a chance to talk to her. Cuz every time I would see her, she would be in conversation or she would be around other folks. Gal in the change room and nobody else was in the change room. We were seeing a very famous yoga teacher and I, I was in the change room and I saw Dr. So a lot of times we would be in class together, but we wouldn't have any real interaction.Īnd then we went to a workshop at the Comar center in town, town, Detroit. We were both in the on sour world together. And initially, maybe stalking her a little bit. I didn't want to invade her space, but I started, you know, reading her blog and following her.
ONE SPIRIT LEARNING ALLIANCE HOW TO
And until I was in a class with, for Gale Parker, and I was trying to figure out how to meet her. And I never saw yogis of color or teachers of color. Gail Parker is I used to practice yoga, uh, in Michigan, in Detroit. Gail Parker for probably pretty close to a decade. And you know what? I've had an ongoing relationship with Dr. And I'm really excited because today I am talking to my mentor, my yoga teacher, uh, my spiritual advisor, an incredible educator doc, Dr.
