Reggie Hubbard: How to Get Men and Minorities Involved in Yoga. Making Yoga Accessible and Relatable. Why Yoga Communities Fail at Being Inclusive.

Reggie Hubbard, certified yoga and meditation teacher, senior political strategist, and influential changemaker who is paving the way toward a more conscious world by sharing techniques that cultivate peace and ease as a foundation. He is on a mission to help activists find balance while inspiring the wellness community to become more engaged, socially conscious citizens. He believes that when inner peace aligns with civic responsibility, it creates the foundation for meaningful, transformative change. I would love to discuss a guest opportunity for him. Reggie has done extensive work with the Permission and Refuge program at Kripalu, which supports men in exploring emotional wellness and vulnerability. He recently shared insights from this work in Essence.Reggie is the founder/chief serving officer of Active Peace Yoga, a practice whose mission is to make the practice of yoga and living the yogic lifestyle accessible to all, regardless of race, gender, body type or practice level. He advises yoga and meditation communities, studios, teachers, and the broader wellness industry on the importance of diversity and inclusion, helping to make the practice accessible to all by eliminating exclusionary cultures and habits.   His teaching style is designed for all levels and lifestyles, with the only requirement being an open mind. Reggie has studied extensively with renowned teachers such as Faith Hunter, Amy Ippoliti, Yogarupa Rod Stryker, Sri Dharma Mittra, Roshi Joan Halifax, Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. He earned his B.A. in philosophy from Yale University and holds an M.B.A. in international strategy from the Vlerick Business School in Belgium. Link to Reggie's InstagramSupport the show
