You may not see the link between Non-Performative Yoga™ and the divine feminine, but you will by the end of this episode. If you’ve always felt like yoga was less about doing and more about being, or if you’ve been curious about how to embody the divine feminine more, discovering the link between these two concepts will change everything.

To discuss these topics, I sat down with Abiola Akanni, a leader in the field of yoga. She has cultivated non-performative spaces that encourage individuals to use the practices of yoga and mindfulness to enhance their lives and bodies. Abiola is also an emotional intelligence coach, supporting high-achieving Women of Color navigating their experience of high-functioning anxiety.

If you’re ready to start practicing yoga beyond the poses and disrupt the western-world’s performative approach to yoga, tune in this week. Abiola is sharing how to start practicing yoga in a way that feels more freeing and aligned with your values while weaving in the concept of embodying the divine feminine along the way.
