Trap Yoga Bae: How this Woman Curated a Yoga Experience Complete with Trap Music and Ratchet Affirmations

Several months back, in February of this year, I sat down with Brittney Floyd-Mayo, best known as "Trap Yoga Bae" to talk all things yoga, self-care and healing. Brittney, a native of Oakland, California, began yoga in college as a means of channeling her energy in a productive and non-confrontational way, and found her way back to yoga years later after hitting rock bottom. She went on her own "Eat, Pray, Love" journey and traveled to India, China, and Brazil to learn from the best of the best and immerse herself in healing. She later vowed to help other woman find their own healing through yoga, but in a much more comfortable setting.  Brittney teaches Vinyasa style yoga to the tunes of trap music curated by a live DJ and reinforced by "ratchet affirmations" and sisterhood. Her classes attract hundreds of students and the style of "trap yoga" has skyrocketed in popularity.  Brittney is a true firecracker and does not hold back. There was tons of laughter in this episode. Oh, and you might want to listen with headphones if you're at work or around little people. There's some adult language in this one! Heads up!  You can find Trap Yoga Bae on all things social at: @trapyogabae.  Her website is www.itsyogabae.com. Let's get into it!
