In this episode, Rachel talks with Alecia Dawn Young. Art, social justice, reproductive justice, serving black women, and wellness have been through lines in her work for Alecia's entire life. In 2018 she combined these threads when she created YOGAMOTIF – exploring creativity as a wellness practice through #yogapaintparty workshops and, now, prenatal yoga. Alecia shares about her work supporting healing and creation through yoga, art, and prenatal yoga centering Black women. They discuss Alecia’s work, lessons learned, and the paradoxes we face in U.S. society celebrating our bodies and listening to their innate wisdom.
