Mental and physical wellness is essential and you are the best version of yourself when you’re choosing healthy habits and living a balanced life.
Holistic health in the Black community dates back to before the slave trade to America and yoga was one of the practices that was widely used. It has strengthened Black women for centuries, even those in positions of power and notoriety such as Rosa Parks!
Yoga is a practice meant to promote harmony in the body, mind, and environment. Here are some pics of Parks getting it in on her yoga mat back in 1973. They were proudly displayed at the Library of Congress exhibit “Rosa Parks: In Her Own Words” in December 2019.
Parks not only fought for her seat during the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott, but even until the grand age of 92 years old, she fought to normalize public healthcare. She set an example by living a balanced life and taking care of her own body first.
Thank you, Mrs. Parks 😇 #BWLM💕
