Yoga’s initial popularity in the United States is frequently linked to Los Angeles. In the late 1940’s, Indra Devi started teaching yoga poses through studios she founded in Hollywood. Then, in the 1950’s, Paramahansa Yogananda started spreading meditation techniques through his organization, the Self-Realization Fellowship.
Today, even with the high number of yoga studios in Los Angeles black people are still underrepresented in yoga and wellness. Ironically, it could be argued that black people are the ones that need access to wellness resources the most. Especially, black women.
