I was dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression
and my school didn't have resources.
I'd known about yoga
but I never thought it was something I could do.
Yoga has saved my life.
Given me tools to cope.
Shortly after I started practicing
I happened to be volunteering at a school.
There was a playground outside,
but there was a shooting on the street.
They asked,
would you be willing to do yoga with the kids?
So that we could co-create something
that would actually make a difference.
Yoga Foster is one way to
try to address the wellness gap.
There's definitely a lot of resources
that we could be reallocating
to communities that need it most.
Everyone deserves the right to be well,
it's just a matter of investing in it.
I'm hoping that in a few years this landscape
can really represent all of us.
Because this practice is for all of us.
