00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 5: That is a beautiful question to pop into, and.

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 4: I think it's you just do a lot of times

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: people are always asking me, like how do I meditate?

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: My kids be crying, my husband be yaffing. You know,

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 4: my time, the time is ticking. And the truth is,

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: you will never find this perfect euphoric moment where you

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 4: need to meditate.

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 5: And honestly, when everything is calm, that's not you don't.

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: Necessarily need meditation, right, Like the world be meditating for you.

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 4: So what you gotta do is you gotta doubt your doubts,

35
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: you gotta say a few to your fears, and you

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: have to like literally meditate during that. So when you

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 4: hear that fire truck, when you try to act like

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: you know your world is quiet and everybody just hushes

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: because you're trying to do something that's important to you,

40
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: that is the perfect time to meditate.

41
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: But to breathe, right right. I was reading Questlove has

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: a book that I read.

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: It's about like creatives and stuff and like how to

44
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: how to be creative. And one thing he like he's

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: really big on is micro meditation. So like these like

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: mini meditations. Sometimes it's like fifteen seconds and like you

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: can do it at a stoplight and or you know,

48
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: like or just you know, like you're in a panic situation,

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: just stop yourself to like breathe and stuff. And I

50
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: could imagine like trying to do it during something like

51
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: that where it's like, Okay, the siren is going off,

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: the train's overhead, I'm gonna I'm gonna go inside, you

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: know that, don't.

54
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: Look seriously And a lot of times people feel like, well,

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: I don't have time to take a moment and breathe

56
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: and have this micro meditation, But do you have time

57
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: for your catastrophic things?

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: Like do you?

59
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: And I'm literally gonna use that as an example, like

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: I am someone who actually really appreciates that controlled environment.

61
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: One of the reasons why I am a yoga instructor

62
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: is because I am the most who all over there.

63
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: Can't ask person you could ever right, And so imagine

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 4: you're like, I want to do yoga who all over there?

65
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: So now I know that the class is going to

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 4: be a class.

67
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 5: That I can appreciate and I can enjoy and.

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: So that I can do it right. But we don't

69
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: always have control over that. My staff knows that if

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: somebody opens the door after I start my class, somebody's

71
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: using their job today. I can't fire the amt right,

72
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: and because I want to show up, I've been really

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: excited about being on this. I've been like memorizing. I'm like,

74
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: everybody's like, what is t B g W tip, Like,

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: it's the black accute. The blacks want to show up

76
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: and show out. And sometimes even when you're giving your best,

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 4: there are things that are going to happen out of

78
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: your control. Right, So my previous self, who was written

79
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: with anxiety, would have something like that happen and would

80
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: be like, then I'm trying to mute it so that

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: y'all don't hear it, because then it's not perfect. And

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: now I'm not even able to lean into the rest

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: of this episode, and you wouldn't get to meet my

84
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 4: full self because my anxiety kicked in because something outside.

85
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 5: Of my control happened.

86
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: You see, like dr timing. So we can teach this lesson, right,

87
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 4: but instead of trying to pretend like everything is perfect,

88
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 4: we lean into it. We light of it. I heard that,

89
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 4: I realized there was nothing I can do to stop

90
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: that siren.

91
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: I took a deep breath.

92
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 4: I made a joke. I acknowledged that there was an

93
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 4: issue and we all move forward. And that is compassion,

94
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: That is micro meditation, and that is the only way you.

95
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 5: Are going to get anything done in life.

96
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 4: It suggests roll in it, breathe and don't try to

97
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: hide it, right, don't even don't even try to hide,

98
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 4: don't even pretend like it's not happening. Y'a. Oh yeah, yeah,

99
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 4: I'm money today. Oh I can't work like that. Right,

100
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 4: you got to own it, and that that is the microma,

101
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: accepting things as they are, right, do we get off

102
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 4: to the right friend.

103
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: As we did.

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: The biggest thing when you.

105
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 3: Was talking about breathing, uh, we breathe all the time.

106
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: But I think some people don't realize that because I

107
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: started taking yoga a few years ago, and what I

108
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: realized about yoga is that yoga is the mind of

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: a body and that's something very difficult for people to understand.

110
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 3: And what I've also realized is that you breathe all

111
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: the time, and people just think I'm breathing and I

112
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 3: bring my breathing. But like you say, when situations outside

113
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: of your control kind of piggyback on what you're saying.

114
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: With situations outside of your control or circums chances that

115
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: you didn't see coming come all the time all of

116
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: a sudden, the baby crying, you donet change the dip

117
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: for five times, the baby having diarrhea, the other baby

118
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: throwing up, the other one sick.

119
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: You don't know what's happening, Karen.

120
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of babies happening in this situation.

121
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, I ain't got no babies either, but they

122
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: are parents out there. They're trying to get them into school,

123
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: and all kinds of shit's happening.

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 4: So I am a parent.

125
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 5: I'm up hearing.

126
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: I'm saying no, no, no, Karen, has I think we're up

127
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: to three babies in situation?

128
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: I was just counting the baby. We're up to three babies.

129
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: Okay, so what's the other baby's doing?

130
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, the other babies has grown. You took a break

131
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: between them. That don't left the house, so you ain't

132
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: got to worry about them. Yeah.

133
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: It's it's interesting too, though, when you talk about breathing,

134
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: because like everybody does breathe. We all have to breathe.

135
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: We you know, it's involuntary to a certain extent. But

136
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: then that's like that's like breathing for survival. But like

137
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: since the pandemic started, you know, I started doing yoga

138
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: because I can't like play basketball all that stuff anymore.

139
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: And this is it is different. It's like a conscious.

140
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: Effort of being like I'm gonna take this full exhale,

141
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: make this motion full full in hell, make this motion freeze,

142
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: take a couple of breaths, lay on the ground, breathe

143
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: some more.

144
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Like It's definitely like a conscious thing.

145
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: But it did make me aware of like stuff like

146
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: that where I am in my car, i am, you know,

147
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: sitting outside or whatever, and I'm like, oh yeah, I'm

148
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: actually gonna make a conscious effort to monitor how I'm breathing.

149
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: Intentional, right, That is what mindfulness is all about. And

150
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 4: how you breathe when you're you know, in duress. It

151
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: says so much about how you handle things. And so

152
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: as a yoga instructor, when I'm going through my class

153
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 4: and I'm looking.

154
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 5: At people, I noticed one of two things happen.

155
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 4: You know, on the on the not breathing side, there

156
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: are people who hold their breath right like they get uncomfortable.

157
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 5: They're like, you're like, first of all, you look like

158
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: about shit on yourself.

159
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: Second, of all, Like, what that tells me is you're

160
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: probably someone who when things go bad, you keep it

161
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: to yourself, you hold it in right, and and that

162
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: you know we're going through for it. That's like that

163
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: ain't over attendiveness, Like you're just holding off to the stuff.

164
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: You feel the weight of the world on your shoulder,

165
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: you stop breathing, you forget to move through, and then

166
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: you have the other people who like, damn your hyperventilate.

167
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: So now all of a sudden they I ask them

168
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: and they and touch your toes.

169
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, yes, yes.

170
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: And for me, I used to think it was strange

171
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: when I first started taking yoga. They are good yoga

172
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: instructors and they're bad yoga instructors. And what I realized

173
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 3: the difference between a good one and a bad one. Instead,

174
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 3: a good one will actually continually say breathe, breathe, breathe.

175
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: At first I could understand why they would repeat that,

176
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: until you're so busy sometimes trying to do the motions.

177
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: That you literally forget to breathe.

178
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: And the thing is, the breath is what actually helps

179
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: you hold the poses, helps you, you know, lifting your

180
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: body and like it helps you push through the little

181
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: bit of pain or discomfort that you have, you just

182
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 3: literally forget that. And also breathing slows your mind down

183
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: when you have chaos. I realized that when I started

184
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: just sitting sometimes and just counting to ten, or sitting sometimes,

185
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: or breathing in my nose or they have this thing

186
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: when I have you breathing one nostril breathe after the

187
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: other nostril breathing.

188
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: What yes?

189
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: And when I started doing that, I realized that my

190
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: mind literally will slow down. And once your mind slowed down,

191
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 3: so you can actually think clearly because no matter what's

192
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: happening around you, stress is gonna come.

193
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: And you can't control stress.

194
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: But what you can control is how you respond to stress.

195
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: And they have done studies to say like if people

196
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: control their breathing and get like things around them under

197
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: as much control as they can, the stress is still there,

198
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: but the outcome will be different.

199
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: But they do that.

200
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: It was like pregnancy and stuff like with birth, like

201
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like we take it back

202
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: to the essence just for stuff like that. So you know,

203
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: I think a lot of times that is a thing

204
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: when I remember because I had asthma growing up, and

205
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: whenever I used to like even just walk them out,

206
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: not even run it, walk it.

207
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: I can have an asthma attack. And then they literally

208
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: had to teach me how to breathe like to not

209
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: have an asthma attack.

210
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, like breathing through your nose, excel slowly

211
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: through your mouth, then breathe back in through you like

212
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: instead of just like the natural in and out of

213
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: your nose that people do or take for granted. I

214
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 2: guess at that point I was just looking around like

215
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: you motherfuckers, but for me, like, but it's like your

216
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: body is trying to keep you alive.

217
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: You just have to help it sometimes.

218
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, and then you're of you'all hump. And there

219
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 4: are so many different types of breathing exercises, and you know,

220
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 4: if you go into a lot of yoga studios, you're

221
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: like these mom's crazy because then they're like a.

222
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 6: No.

223
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: But there is that, and there's like the four part breathing,

224
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 4: which is very important, and you know it sounds crazy,

225
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: but you can send intention and energy just through like

226
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 4: your mind and your breathing into your hands, into all

227
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 4: of that. And like you were saying, when you're stressed out,

228
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 4: you are not thinking properly, right, Like your prefrontal cortex,

229
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: the front of your brain, that piece of you that

230
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: makes decisions, is like literally depleted of oxygen. And without oxygen,

231
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 4: the snazis are not happening.

232
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 5: Don't get me started. I'm a medical school dropout, right, so.

233
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: The snapsis are not happening, you know, and all of that,

234
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 4: And so you literally need oxygen to make a thought.

235
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: I mean, can you like we really take our breath

236
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 4: for granted, and we just imagine and right now, for all.

237
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 5: Of the people who are listening, let's say, like just

238
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 5: add a couple.

239
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 4: Of seconds to be intentional about you breathing right, And

240
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: the first couple of times you do it, you just

241
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 4: start to realize You're like, am I breathing night? Like

242
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 4: this is how you say you don't even recognize how

243
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: your breathing works if you're a shallow breather or you know.

244
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: So it's really yoga is the is the asina, right,

245
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: the vinyasa style yoga that I teach is the physical thing.

246
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: But another heavy component which actually comes before the physical asma,

247
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 4: is the front of them, which is the threat. The

248
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: breath work is more important than with your body and

249
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: in my class.

250
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 5: I say that all the time.

251
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 4: Everything that I'm gonna show you today is totally fucking

252
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 4: off show except the breathing. If you forget to breathe,

253
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: you'll die.

254
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: And then wait, I don't know death in my class. Okay, right,

255
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: And I taught like.

256
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: Four hundred thousand people and I've never lost anyone on

257
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: my watch. But I'm just saying they don't bring.

258
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: That will that will be wild if you just like

259
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: slipped your mind for like two minutes to tell everybody

260
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: to breathe, and you looked up and people just laying

261
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: on the grounds like no, no.

262
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: No breed bring You're suppolled to keep keep doing that. Remember, yes,

Speaker 2: some of y'all probably in there for that too. How

290
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: does a girl from Oakland who is in medical school

291
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: end up being a professional yogi?

292
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: So any college, I ended up discovering yoga and it

293
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: changed my life. When I told you, I used to

294
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 4: suffer from an anxiety so bad and it was very interesting.

295
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: I feel like we're friends here and that y'all wouldn't

296
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 4: judge me. It's to say space. My anxiety used to

297
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 4: call me to slap a bitch, like literally, like if

298
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: someone made me anxious. I would fight like you made

299
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: you made me feel unsafe if you will catch these hands?

300
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: Right yeah, And.

301
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 4: Being from Oakland, that wasn't an issue in my family.

302
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 4: No one, no one judged me for going to school

303
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: and get into a fight. Right. They called my mom mama,

304
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 4: be like put her on the phone, and the first

305
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: thing she was saying, did you win fight? Well? I

306
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: was not trained to not not fight, and I didn't

307
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: realize that that wasn't the best way. So anyway, fast forward,

308
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 4: I get to college. I've also been various students. I

309
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: love school. Was running for freshman class president. A girl

310
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 4: from New York said something I don't like. Come on now,

311
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: New York, Oakland. It's two thousand and seven. Everybody over

312
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: there throwing bowls and all of that knock if you

313
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,880

Speaker 4: I went to Real de Jhannio and dance like my

363
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: heart was going to fall out of my chest. Then

364
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 4: just like would not stop tabling Singapore, Colombia.

365
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,160

00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 4: four months right. Basically the Black Girl version of Eat, Pray, Love.

368
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 2: Right was like a lot of pressure from home. Was

00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: there like a like her parents and your parents putting

370
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: pressure on you, like like hurry up, get back home.

371
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 4: It wasn't so much pressure as it was judgment. It

372
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 4: was a lot of judgment. I was heavy in the

373
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: church a cost, and I had a lot of people saying, like,

374
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 4: you care more about good vibes than the good Lord.

375
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 4: You've lost your modesty. You you know, like you're you're tripping.

376
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 4: You were tripping.

377
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 5: And from my family, remember my family, like let.

378
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 4: Me fist, so they wasn't tripping. My mom was just

379
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: like when you get back, we're gonna pay your bills.

380
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 5: We're gonna come get these kids.

381
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 4: Because I did my drew right, like right, my husbands

382
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 4: from Louisiana and then they're very traditional people. And so

383
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: I came back home, started in med school, was doing

384
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: really really great. Was teaching yoga like on the side,

385
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 4: like really wasn't making a big deal of that. I

386
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 4: did not want to be a yoga instructor. It was

387
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 4: to help me get through med school. But then I

388
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 4: had a friend who bought this beautiful dance studio in

389
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: Doll Patch in the dog Patch area in San Francisco.

390
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 4: It's like an up and coming I mean it was

391
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 4: up and coming.

392
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: It's gone now to try like like no other.

393
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 4: Said hey, I've got some open spaces. Would you like

394
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 4: to teach a yoga class? And I was like, yeah,

395
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 4: you know, I don't really do well in crowds. I'm

396
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 4: kind of weird. It's awkward. She was like, you have

397
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 4: full creative control and you can keep half the money.

398
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 5: I was like, half the money.

399
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 4: Remind you, I'm a divorced studio with two kids. Half

400
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: the girl. Let's do it. So I did this little.

401
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 5: Thing, and I kid you not.

402
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: The way that I thought to put this class together

403
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 4: was like if there was like a ratchet ass Saturday

404
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 4: Night Live version of yoga, like the blackest, most ridiculous thing,

405
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 4: what would it look like? And I was like, turking,

406
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 4: it will be like breathe, bitch, ratchet, Like I just

407
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 4: want to do ratchet. And she's like, well, what are

408
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 4: you gonna call it? I was like, I love him.

Speaker 4: Chan he used trap music. I'm a motherfucking thug. I'm

410
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: not whatever. At least we're gonna call this this thing

411
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 4: trap Yoga, So I like did this like little torqu

412
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 4: torku flow thing which I later ended up coining called

413
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 4: the torking chattaranga dead assidu right basically up right, and

414
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,080

Speaker 2: time to have a lot of judgment, you know what

448

450
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 4: you know, when I left, the judgment came through. When

Speaker 3: can't I can't explain what you what my baby do?

469
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: I know my baby do something that's like me trying

470
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: to explain certain things. I just kind of make it

471
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 3: up and it don't make sense. It makes sense like

472
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: we're podcasters, you know our parents. I mean obviously like

473
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: now my dad is like super proud, super all that stuff.

474
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 3: But I remember when I first was gonna do this,

475
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 3: I was like I got to boored you.

476
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, I was like I have to try. I

477
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: have to try to do this.

478
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: I lost my job, how you know, I gotta try

479
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: to see if we can make the podcast work. Well,

480
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: he was like, you sure think you think you can

481
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: do this? And I was like, I know, because it's hard.

482
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: It's hard you have a concept of something that doesn't

483
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 2: really exist.

484
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, help them understand the vision first.

485
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to.

486
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 4: Help parents understand the vision. And and you know a

487
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 4: lot of times people feel like their parents are criticizing it, but.

488
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 5: Really it's them time to protect you.

489
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 4: Yes, I like, if you know, if my kid falls

490
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 4: down and gets hurt and gets embarrassed, I don't you're grown,

491
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: ask me, and.

492
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 5: I do not know how to pick you back up to.

493
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: What I'm going to do is stay.

494
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: Safe, Yeah, and keep your job. It's love, It's honestly loved.

495
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 2: Like it's I think one of the things that I like,

496
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 2: I'm reading this book on Zen like black black people

497
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: and dealing with like Buddhism and stuff, and one of

498
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: the things that is like constantly is like how you

499
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: can kind of change your perception of something, because I

500
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: do think a lot of people kind of have this,

501
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 2: like anyone that doubts my dreams is the enemy, you know.

502
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: You a hater.

503
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: And instead it's like sometimes people are literally just worried.

504
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: They don't fully understand, and they're gonna try to They're

505
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: gonna try to tell you the things that they know work.

506
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: And because they don't know your vision, they haven't lived it,

507
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 2: they haven't experienced it yet. And then obviously once they

508
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: see you doing whatever it is, and especially when they

509
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: see you're doing something you were meant to do, it's like, oh, yeah,

510
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 2: that's that's it.

511
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: Okay, my bad, you got it.

512
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: Like I always believe, you know, I always.

513
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: My baby is a my my baby is a trap yo.

514
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: You don't know what a trap?

515
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 5: Oh calls me trap yoga bab now?

516
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 4: Oh but no, absolutely, it's really hard to paint that vision,

517
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 4: especially if you have, you know, parents who were born

518
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 4: like my mom was born in the sixties and she

519
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 4: did retire from a government job.

520
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 5: And the thing is, she tried to get me a.

521
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: Government job very early on. When I was fresh out

522
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 4: of college and I quit.

523
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't I don't like them, I don't.

524
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 4: Like the people. I was like, I don't even I

525
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 4: wasn't bothered. I worked at social services. I wasn't about

526
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 4: the client, it was the co workers. I couldn't I

527
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 4: couldn't stand. I was like, look, Missulesan been crazy, She's

528
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 4: gonna be crazy every day in her life.

529
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 5: It's these like shady, two sided this is over here that.

530
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: I can't get.

531
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 5: It made me feel uncomfortable, so I'm gone quick.

532
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 4: But but really, just really speaking to your point, it

533
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: comes from a place of them saying, it's not that

534
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 4: I don't believe in you, it's that I've never seen

535
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 4: it be done in real time, and I want to

536
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 4: make sure you have your options open. And I will say,

537
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: like in the beginning, my mom will be like, well,

538
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: why don't you just get a job too, And I'll

539
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 4: be like, look all these opportunities that are coming my way,

540
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 4: and I would telling her like, look, Erica Badu just

541
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 4: called me, and I need to go next week to

542
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 4: open up for her Insuran. I can't have a job,

543
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 4: and that that matters to me where I feel like

544
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 4: I'm doing it making sustainable change in the world, and

545
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 4: also be ready to fly to Canada at a moment's notice.

546
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 4: I have to make myself available for these things. And

547
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 4: and it just took a lot of those big wins

548
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 4: for her to understand. And honestly, you know, my mom

549
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 4: does my taxes. And it took her doing my taxes

550
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 4: to be like and then and then.

551
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 5: I always knew it was gonna be something.

552
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 4: But if I called her concerned about you know, damn,

553
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 4: I've got eleven employees, I'm scared about making payroll, you know,

554
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 4: because of the thing hit, She'd be like, well, remember

555
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 4: it was the best recruiter and all of you know,

556
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: all the northern California.

557
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 5: Can you get that job back? And I said, look, look, honey, my.

558
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: Hair is blue, right, it's done.

559
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 4: For me. But when you're realizing that it does come

560
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 4: from a place of love, and I really want you

561
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: to not let go of that point of reminding people everybody.

562
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 5: Ain't fucking hating on you, on you.

563
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 4: And if we don't, like start talking about that realm.

564
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 4: It is not your friends and families big job to

565
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 4: support your endeavors. They are not so target demographic. They

566
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 4: are not obligated to buy something from you. You know,

567
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 4: can diget on that for a second. I saw some

568
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 4: posts the other day they say, you know, your friends

569
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: over here saying happy birthday to Nipsey Hustle, but they

570
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: even check on you, And I said, well, don't, don't,

571
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 4: don't discount when the SELSA was done for them? You

572
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 4: know what his album has done for them? Or how

573
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 4: you know Beyonce has gotten you through some things. Don't

574
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 4: sit here and say people celebrate and support celebrities who

575
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 4: have done nothing for you because you have no idea

576
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 4: what someone's art has done for them. I'm pretty sure

577
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 4: your podcast has done great deal for people, right. That's

578
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 4: why I'm here because I want that can continue to

579
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 4: share that reach and inspire those lives. And so when

580
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 4: we sit here and we sit in our entitlement and

581
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: think that our family is supposed to support us, then

582
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 4: then we got life fucked up to support you need.

583
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: I always say two ways, you know what I mean, Like,

584
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: if someone's on your mind enough for you to be

585
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: shaved posting them or vague booking them or whatever, they

586
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: on your mind enough to shoot them that text, to

587
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: give them that phone.

588
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: Call, I'm that old woman.

589
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 3: I will just call you like I have friends that

590
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: you know, because I'm the type of friend where we

591
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 3: don't have to talk every day all the time, because

592
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: people have lives. But if you cross my mind enough

593
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: or you stay on my heart long enough, I'll just

594
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: call Like I don't want nothing. The first thing I

595
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: say is I don't want nothing. I'm just letting them

596
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: know I want no money. I don't want nothing from you.

597
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: How are you like?

598
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: That's all because you cross my mind.

599
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: And people want to know that you're thinking about their

600
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 4: well being even before you need something, and it does

601
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 4: not have to be super in death. I'm not friend,

602
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 4: I'm very like, I'm crazy, stupid, ridiculously busy and you

603
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 4: know I'm sleep by eight pm, Like that's just how

604
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,479
Speaker 4: my life works. But I will text my friends thinking

605
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 4: of you today. Well even if when you respond, I'll

606
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: test back because at that moment is passed and I'm

607
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 4: back to work, but for a brief moment. Because when

608
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 4: someone went with spirits, put someone on your heart, here's

609
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 4: no idea what they're going through correct, And a lot

610
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 4: of people get really irritated about who isn't checking on

611
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 4: them and don't realize that that person might be needing

612
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 4: you to check. So if you sitting there, I feel some.

613
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 5: Kind of way because they ain't called me, You don't

614
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 5: realize that maybe they need you to call them.

615
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 4: Yes, when we stopped taking and having expectations, all people

616
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: can begin. You can love and if you need something,

617
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 4: to stop having conversations with people, to God, stop having

618
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: kept the conversations with people in your head, right like you

619
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 4: people be like, oh, I'm so mad at her and

620
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 4: she ain't even care and it was my so and

621
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 4: so deay or I needed this sort of support. And

622
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 4: the first thing I say is, well, did you give

623
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 4: them the opportunity.

624
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 5: To rectify that?

625
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 4: Did you say to them, hey, when you didn't show

626
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: up when I invited you to something? It hurt my

627
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 4: feelings because a lot of times people think.

628
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: Well also like right, like right, thinking right, because it

629
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: depends on the story you want to fill in for

630
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: the person, Like even when you talk about like someone

631
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: if you because I do think people have like there

632
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: are people that are haters and blah blah blah. But

633
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 2: even when you yeah, even when you have a hater

634
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: or whatever, that person is filled in a whole gap

635
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: of story about you, Like it is they don't even

636
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: really know you to hate you.

637
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: They don't have to.

638
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: They can just be like I don't like I don't

639
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: like her hair, or I don't like yeah, she thinks

640
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: she all that or whatever, and which is them like

641
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: kind of taking their own thing and projecting it onto you.

642
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: So I think a lot of times we do that

643
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: to people. You know, it is the they ain't checking

644
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: on me, but they put Nipsey Hustle up there. Well,

645
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: you just put a whole story in your head of

646
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: them like hating you actively because they took the time

647
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: out to post something that.

648
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: Was trending on the world, like everyone talking about Yeah,

649
00:31:59,560 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: you know.

650
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 5: Like us or my cousin whom I've known my whole life.

651
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: Right, It's like like when people say, like when people say,

00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: like it's I can't remember nobody's birthdays nobody.

657
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: But it's all what you want to like put into

658
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: it yourself. Yeah.

659
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: So another thing too, Uh, while you were talking, like

660
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: you said you first did yoga in college. What was

661
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 2: that first class? Like what was that experience? Did you

662
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: go to like a YMCA? Was it something on campus?

663
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: And what made it stick with you that that you

664
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: you know that you went through years of life and

665
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: came back to that moment to go I want to

666
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: recapture that feeling.

667
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: That's so beautiful. You're the first person.

668
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I do my research.

669
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, black out You know how

670
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: I was good guys, But go ahead, you close.

671
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

672
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 5: Well, I mean I could.

673
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 4: Tell you the yo the studio, but to be honest,

674
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 4: I'm going to drop the name because they ain't paid

675
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 4: me for it.

676
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. But there was a studio.

677
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 5: It was a hot studio.

678
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 4: And to tell the truth, this is so important. I

679
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 4: felt nothing for the first class. I actually farted and

680
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 4: fell asleep. Okay, that's both of those things I've been

681
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: in my very first I mean, I thought I thought

682
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 4: we could be honest here.

683
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 5: Nothing happened.

684
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 4: It was whack as fuck. But remember I was mandated

685
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 4: and I had to go to twelve Yoda classes, and

686
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 4: so it was. It wasn't until about the sixth class,

687
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 4: and they say, like, some people call it come to

688
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 4: Jesus moment. Some people call it freedom. At the map

689
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 4: where I was, you know, laying, I went through the

690
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 4: whole class. I was laying there on TVOSNA and then

691
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: I felt like a tear drop and I was like

692
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 4: and then it's just like, you know, you like try

693
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 4: to hold it in, like when your mama beat to

694
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 4: her embarrassment for your friend.

695
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: Yes, so.

696
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 4: You know, just waiting for everybody to like leave. It

697
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 4: was like one of those things. And then I just

698
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 4: like it just came over me and I finally felt

699
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 4: outside of myself and I could see both the potential

700
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 4: that I had for greatness and all of the ways

701
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 4: that I was sabotaging myself. And that did not come

702
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 4: until the sixth class. This is so, that's so amazing.

703
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 4: No one has ever asked me that. And so a

704
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 4: lot of times people will be like, you know, I've

705
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 4: tried yoga, it's not for me, I said, but did

706
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 4: you try another one? Did you try a game? Did

707
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 4: you try a different teacher? Because the same way that

708
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 4: when you're in school, one math teacher can make math

709
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 4: super fun, and then that you know that one teacher

710
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 4: everybody had with that real bad accent, that it just

711
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 4: was like super above Like that exists, and so you

712
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 4: have to to know that it is worth it and

713
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 4: to try. No one ever tried a bad meal and

714
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 4: said I'll never eat food again. You're like, I don't

715
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 4: like that cook. I don't like the I don't like

716
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 4: that taste. I don't like red meat, but you continue

717
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 4: to find other ways. There are over thirty different types

718
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 4: of yoga. There are a hundred and thousands of yoga instructors.

719
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 4: I say, no one has ever really really believed that.

720
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 5: Yoga is not for them.

721
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 4: So people say, I don't like yoga because you know

722
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 4: it's too soft and too slow. I joke in yasta

723
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 4: yoga and I don't know if you guys been on

724
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: my Instagram, but I built my ass doing yoga. My

725
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 4: body is it's hardcore yoga. And my partner does not

726
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 4: like vanyasa at all. She prefers yea yoga. And that's

727
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 4: when you lay their and you sold one pose for

728
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 4: ten minutes and the teacher come around and rub you

729
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 4: know what do you call it? Like a lavender on

730
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: your under your nose and props pillows up under you

731
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 4: and it's literally like not time in kindergarten.

732
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 5: And that is her leg.

733
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 4: I don't like beeklum, but until you try it all,

734
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 4: you cannot discount it, but really say, answer your question.

735
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 4: Like the first couple of times, I felt nothing, I

736
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 4: felt embarrassed.

737
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 5: I thought it was stupid. I thought it was white

738
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 5: people's shit.

739
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 4: I thought that it was beyond me. I thought that

740
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 4: it was against the God that I served, right, I thought,

741
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 4: I just I just did not like it.

742
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 5: But but it was either that or school.

743
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 4: And a lot of times people don't realize that every

744
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 4: decision that you make is pretty much an autonatum. Every

745
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 4: time you say yes to one thing, you say no

746
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 4: than something else. And for me that that yes to

747
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 4: no was more obvious, But other people don't realize the

748
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 4: saying no to yoga means also saying yes to to to.

749
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 5: To deal with function in your life and no.

750
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 4: To meditating and saying yes to being overwhelmed and anxious

751
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 4: all the time.

752
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 5: So for me, I.

753
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 4: Almost didn't have a choice, and I kept going until

754
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 4: I felt something.

755
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 5: But when I felt it, I felt it.

756
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 2: And it's interesting that after you know, the marriage, after

757
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 2: going to find yourself, that's the that is the moment

758
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: you come back to, which is this moment that you

759
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: had this release and his breakthrough and parting in the

760
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: class right, technically technically both, I mean, look, I.

761
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 3: Don't know, maybe people do that all the time.

762
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 2: Been gassy, I don't know, you know what I'm saying

763
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. Okay, Karen, what were you gonna say?

764
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 3: What made you choose trap music? Because, like I said,

765
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 3: I've had yoga classes before, and this is just from

766
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 3: me from my experience. I know that I used to

767
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 3: always think that's why people shit, do you know, because

768
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 3: that's how it's introduced to most people.

769
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 2: Which is wild because it's yoga, Like we know it's

770
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: not that shit, but it is in our minds in America.

771
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, that's white women shit.

772
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: Right, because that's you know, Lululemon's like, that's almost how

773
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: particularly Americans are introduced to yoga, and most of us

774
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 3: don't see black people teaching the classes or either you're

775
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 3: the dots in the class, and so a lot of

776
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 3: times we have no control of the music. And I

777
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: enjoyed yoga, but what was happening to me was that

778
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 3: not trying funny.

779
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: The music was boring.

780
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 4: It was smoother right right.

781
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: It was like it was.

782
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 3: No connection, it was any beats. And I went to

783
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: the YMCA and I had my first black yoga instructor

784
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: and she.

785
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: Was playing shit.

786
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I like that, and it's more

787
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 3: of being able to move and I'm gonna tell you

788
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: one thing. The reason why when you had your first

789
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 3: class so many people showed up, and there's probably a

790
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 3: lot of black people, it's because we're an underserved audience

791
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 3: and we like our music, and so when you put

792
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: something that speaks to us in our music and exercise,

793
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: we will show up. And people act like when niggas

794
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 3: just don't want do that, No, you're not presenting it

795
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: in the right way.

796
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 2: I feel like white people like that shit too, though,

797
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 2: Lowki like white people love.

798
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: Some black shit. That's the biggest line in America where

799
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: they try to hit you.

800
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: With the like like if you do that shit, it's

801
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 2: gonna be too black.

802
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: Every Like Dave Japel.

803
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 2: Sold the most DVDs in TV history with that nigga

804
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 2: showed doll they.

805
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: Love our shit.

806
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 4: So it's so so very true all of that. And

807
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 4: to get your point, why trap music the same thing

808
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: I was saying about that ambulance, because look here, people

809
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 4: want yoga and they want peace, but ain't nobody gonna

810
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 4: get no motherfucking piece until we get some power.

811
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 5: And the only way that you're gonna get your.

812
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 4: Power is to learn how to find an quantumous mind

813
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 4: through all of the nonsense, and so I love putting

814
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 4: trap music next to this then thing because it's all

815
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 4: about balance. And most of the time, the reason why

816
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 4: we can't convince black people to do yoga is because

817
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 4: it seems too far fetched from where we are.

818
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 5: So when we do track music, it helps bridge the gap.

819
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 4: Plus the beat of trap music, you know that open space,

820
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 4: those heavy atoights, that the even the way that high

821
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 4: hats are spaced out, it makes perfectly for vinya so

822
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 4: which is a fluff, which is like a sequence that

823
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 4: you do one movement, one breath. And also a lot

824
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 4: of people who come to my classes they've never meditated before,

825
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 4: and people don't talk about this, but there's a dark

826
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 4: side too meta meditation because if you've not ever sat

827
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 4: there and people figured this shit out with COVID, if

828
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 4: you've never sat there with your own voice, right, if

829
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 4: you've never sat there in your own silence, it can

830
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 4: be devastating, it can and a lot of times people

831
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 4: are not prepared for that. So that quiet you're a class,

832
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 4: your brain actually gets louder, and.

833
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 5: Then you're judging yourself for that.

834
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 4: So I argue that listening the trap music is a

835
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 4: form of meditation.

836
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 5: The same time I started teaching was when Cardi B

837
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 5: Bodak Yellow came out right. And here's the thing.

838
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 4: So if that song was so hot, and if you're

839
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 4: doing if you're listening to Vodak Yellow, like that song

840
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 4: would take over your brain. Let me tell you what

841
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 4: you're trying to do. You're trying to dance now I

842
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 4: make money moves. And when you're doing that and trying

843
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 4: to make sure that you're hitting the polls to the beat,

844
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 4: you slag surfing, you're saying the lyrics.

845
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 5: You know what, You're not thinking about anything else.

846
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 4: You've effectively created a single stream of thought, not thinking

847
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 4: about shit else, not worrying about anything else, and you're

848
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 4: just being in your body, getting lost in the music.

849
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 4: But the thing about yoga is it's it's a flow,

850
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 4: these sequences that we're doing. People don't realize it, but

851
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 4: it unlocks things in you. So when we're going through

852
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 4: a pose and I'm doing a side and go, you know,

853
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 4: open up your arms, You're literally opening up your heart

854
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 4: chakra and I tell a little Joe to make you laugh,

855
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 4: and so that that gets your you know, your your

856
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 4: cortisol down and all of your your happier and more,

857
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 4: you know, happier hormones up, and then I'm getting to

858
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 4: the heart of the matter. You're sweating it out, you

859
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 4: feel those toxins going. And it starts literally with trap music.

860
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 4: My company took off when I added a DJ, like

861
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 4: literally took off when DJ truth Star came and became

862
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 4: the music god. And I could, I could be the

863
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 4: best yoga teacher any day. But nothing controls a room

864
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 4: like music, especially when it comes to art. And yet

865
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 4: they do love our ship, and it's it's when I

866
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 4: teach predominantly white spaces versus predominantly.

867
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 5: Black spaces, it's two totally different classes.

868
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: Like not because I changed. I don't change. Just the

869
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 4: hair flip, you know, the black hair flip versus the rock.

870
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 5: And roll hairflip. It's just it just is.

871
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 4: And you know, Gugulm is one of my biggest sponsors

872
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 4: because they do they love. They treat me so well,

873
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 4: and before the Black Lives Matter movement became what it

874
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 4: is right now, have shown me so much love. And

875
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 4: people criticized them all the time. But when I tell

876
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 4: you when I when I when I did not have

877
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 4: lu limit has always stood in the gap for me

878
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 4: because we've we've been able to have very honest conversations

879
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 4: about what it means to be a black female yoga instructor.

880
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 4: And then the other black female yoga structures that I

881
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 4: do see that typically make it on fabletics manduka a lo,

882
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 4: let me call them out, because say, none of those

883
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 4: brands ever fucked with me, like literally closed doors in

884
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 4: my face. I would see black instructors, but then I

885
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 4: would watch them and and as a person who's looking

886
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 4: for a teacher, would be like, you know, there's this

887
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 4: message that that's typically painted in the yoga community that

888
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 4: to be a yogi and a black person you almost

889
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 4: have to absolve yourself of your blackness. But I hate

890
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 4: when I go.

891
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 5: To a yoga studio and it's a black teacher and

892
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 5: I'm looking.

893
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: Like right, yes.

894
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 2: And they did the same thing with with like the

895
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: Buddhism and zien Ship, where it's like we expect you

896
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: to reach a level of z in where you look

897
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 2: past racial animus and oppression and sh It's like that's

898
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 2: never gonna happen because that's real, Like like it's not

899
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: like that's not a perception that I that I fail

900
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 2: to have, Like yeah.

901
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 5: I can't in the streets.

902
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't nerve.

903
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 2: I can't nerve Vana out of this ship when they

904
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 2: pulled me over, and I'll be like, no, race is

905
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 2: just a social construct.

906
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: And they'd be like, okay, oh my bad dog. So yes,

907
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, to make sure to let me just go ahead.

908
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 5: Kill yourself out of that ship.

909
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: Didn't work right, She had to fight back and get

910
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: out that car.

911
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 1: How do you.

912
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 3: Deal with black women, particularly black heavier women that want

913
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: to come but self conscious of like their shape or

914
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 3: their size and stuff like that, and like they want

915
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 3: to come, but I was like, but I'm a big

916
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 3: girl and and things like that.

917
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 4: I know you ain't never seen my class. What's crazy

918
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 4: is that is my demographic. We sell merch and our

919
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 4: sizes going to a four.

920
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 5: X because let me tell you something.

921
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 4: I love my big girls. Oh I do. They come

922
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 4: in there and they show out. It is a safe

923
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 4: space for women of all sizes. But we actually, you know,

924
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 4: and and I just say, like the merch sizes, because

925
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 4: that tells you who comes in. Our number one selling

926
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 4: size is a two x, right, And this is the rules.

927

00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 5: I see that. Really I.

936
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 4: See the world need to see it. And if you

937
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 4: if anybody got a cloud with it, fuck them, you know.

938
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 4: And and what I care about is not how you look,

939
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 4: but how you feel.

940
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 5: Do you feel good in that body that you're living in?

941
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 5: Is that mo healthy being?

942
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 4: Other than if it is, fuck everybody and what they're thinking.

943
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 5: I just so happen.

944
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 4: If you if you're meeting your person, the first thing

945
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 4: everybody says, then you a lot smaller than I thought, right,

946
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 4: Like here're like, you know, on at the alert, I'm

947
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 4: only about five to five. Most people think I'm like

948
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 4: five nine five ten. I'm a tiny lady. And in

949
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 4: most pictures my students are like seeing in this much

950
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 4: over me full figure, and and that's self conscious, like

951
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 4: that's just not the space. I am the loudest, craziest,

952
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 4: wildest ratchet sing in the room, and so and so

953
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 4: I suck up that energy. I can tell when someone

954
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 4: comes to my class because they're looking for a reason

955
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 4: to hate me and to validate their negative feelings about

956
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 4: how how unfutable and how unapologetic and how loudly I

957
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 4: live my life.

958
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 5: And I'm okay with that. I meditate, I'm strong enough

959
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 5: for that.

960
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 4: So for the women who you know, maybe have not

961
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 4: found that boldness because of their size or their level

962
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 4: of flexibility, they just know that you get here and

963
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 4: I suck up all of that hate and I hold

964
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 4: it and I churn it, and I call those bitches

965
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 4: out and I kick bitches out my class who who

966
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 4: I feel are judging other women or who are gaining

967
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 4: up and chuckling. That has not happened in a very

968
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 4: long time. But I am very, very very protective of

969
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 4: my space. That's why you can't come in after the

970
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 4: first two minutes, because once I said the stage, once

971
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 4: I once I've said, this is a safe place. Mind you.

972
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 4: Fucking business is the name of the game. Like literally,

973
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 4: I say, the name of the game is staying your lane.

974
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 4: And there's a part of my class saying if you

975
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 4: mind your business to keep your eyes on your own ship,

976
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 4: you never have anyone else to compare yourself to you.

977
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 2: Know, and with that many people in a class, like

978
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 2: it's almost like it has that effect where it's like

979
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm just a blip. Okay, I'm doing my own thing

980
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 2: and we're going and I'm posenterting on the instructor. I

981
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 2: actually don't have time to be looking over here at

982
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: whatever the fuck's happening, because I'm just trying to get

983
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: my own ship right, because I like there is an

984
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 2: advantage that and a benefit to having so many people.

985
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 4: And I would love.

986
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: God go ahead.

987
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 4: Oh know what I'm saying. I called him. I would

988
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 4: love Like if I see somebody over you watching someone else,

989
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, that's gonna get you summed.

990
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: Up over here. And how the.

991
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,920

Speaker 4: like you.

993
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 5: Ever thought a yoga class will go.

994
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 4: Can you imagine you walk out yoga class and was

995
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 4: like that bitch called me bitch off? But afterwards it's

996
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 4: nothing but hugs, and you know, we even we take.

997
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 5: Breaks in my class, we have to work at the

998
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 5: end solo.

999
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 4: People who who are extraverts like me, and they like

1000
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 4: the attention to maybe like dang, when nobody can watch

1001
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 4: me after the class, I was like, love free ship,

1002

1003
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 5: We and we let's have it to work off. Our

1004
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:19,479
Speaker 5: extroverts are.

1005
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 4: Sicke you know, like everybody feels safe and and and

1006
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 4: that's what's super important, you know, it's it's.

1007
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 5: I miss I missed.

1008
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of I mean speaking our.

1009
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 5: Lungs like this two feet away from me because I'm excited.

1010
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 2: How speaking of which, how did the pandemic like affect

1011
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: like how you do your thing? Because I know one

1012
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 2: of the major you know, concerns is you know, gym

1013
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 2: small spaces, even big spaces with a lot of people

1014
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 2: in it breathing and all that stuff. And I know

1015
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: we we not have like ways to reach each other

1016
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 2: through like zoom and all this other stuff that people

1017
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 2: can do. But like, how did how did that like

1018
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 2: kind of come in and rock your world?

1019
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 4: Yeah? So we definitely I'm really grateful we had the

1020
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 4: inclination to pivot the brand last year.

1021
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 5: Last September, I created an online.

1022
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 4: Community which is power community networks and it's it's called

1023
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 4: trap Tribe and people can check it out by going

1024
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 4: to tribe dot trapfield Bay dot com. And each month

1025
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 4: we I released curated experiences. Right now, we're focusing on friendships.

1026
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 4: You'd be surprised by how many grown ass women are

1027
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 4: not certain about their friends. Right, So we focus on

1028
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 4: topics like that, topics like manipulation. Next month we're focusing

1029
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 4: on ads and asks and I feel, you know, several

1030
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 4: yoga videos each month, meditations, But the biggest thing is

1031
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 4: the community. Being able to talk to people back and forth.

1032
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 4: And you know that was great. But to make sure

1033
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 4: I stayed in my financial bag, I just started going

1034
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 4: out for you know, bigger brands. And I had already

1035
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 4: taught at Google Little, I've already taught it SATs, I've

1036
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 4: already sold out Essence Festival. We just last week we

1037
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 4: were featured in Forbes. So I said, okay, well let's

1038
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 4: make sure that we create a whole department for that.

1039
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 4: And I have myself and my team and we go

1040
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 4: after brands and say, hey, you know, you got all

1041
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 4: these people working from home. There needs to be an

1042
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 4: inclusive experience for them. Our teacher zoom class. This is

1043
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 4: what the price is.

1044
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 5: And if I like you, I'll let you book me

1045
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 5: every third Friday.

1046
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 4: Right, And you know, I've got an account with Twilio

1047
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 4: as well as YELP, and that's how we, you know,

1048
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,720
Speaker 4: keep things going because I do not want to overly

1049
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 4: tax I don't want to overly tax my people, and

1050
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 4: I want to continue to make it accessible.

1051
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 2: But right absolutely, I see a lot of people are

1052
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 2: taking it outside too, like a lot of like I

1053
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 2: know the YMCA we at, they opened it back up,

1054
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 2: but you got, everything they're doing that's open is outside.

1055
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 4: Because of because of our are really like we play

1056
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 4: our music club level loud, so we we do not

1057
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 4: it gets kind of expensive for us to do the

1058
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 4: like permitting and things like that. Plus I've taught like

1059
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 4: I taught at the promenade in uh like was Santa

1060
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 4: Monica and we taught like literally in the middle of

1061
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 4: the mall, and I noticed a lot of people did

1062
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 4: not fully participate because the music is so loud and

1063
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 4: I'm so loud that there ends up being a lot

1064
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 4: of spectators. And I don't think that YO gets a

1065
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 4: spectator sport. So more than more than want to make

1066
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 4: sure I can keep the money flowing, I want to

1067
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 4: make sure that.

1068
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 5: I keep brand integrity.

1069
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 4: So there so there that that does prohibit us from

1070
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:43,240
Speaker 4: doing a lot of things.

1071
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 5: But the beautiful thing is it caused.

1072
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 4: Me to continue to be resourceful and creative, and like, honestly,

1073
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 4: the the online pivot, it really has worked for us.

1074
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 5: We did a fundraiser and we're to.

1075
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,479
Speaker 4: The point where really our company is sound enough that

1076
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 4: we've raising money for other groups which I believe that

1077
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 4: I've greatly been in fit from black. We did a

1078
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 4: fundraiser for black sex workers because if I work in

1079
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 4: my class and you think I wasn't studying at the

1080
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 4: strip club, you know, it was a great time for

1081
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 4: me to make sure that that I can't forward and

1082
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 4: we get to that. We've also, you know, raised money

1083
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 4: for the Oprah Foundation for Black Black Futures, you know,

1084
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 4: all of those sort of things. So really, what I'm

1085
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 4: worried about is making sure my people get their heads,

1086
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 4: to keep their heads in a good place, and that

1087
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 4: we know that in three years, I have a brand

1088
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 4: that's become a million dollar brand. And what I'm going

1089
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 4: to do is make sure that I'm keeping the legacy

1090
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 4: going and keeping other people going who maybe do not

1091
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 4: have all of that intrigue and novelty that just makes it.

1092
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 5: Makes it come, you know, come to us easily. But

1093
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 5: you know, budgeting.

1094
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, budgeting.

1095
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 3: Is this something that you teaching your children or your

1096
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 3: children is to.

Speaker 4: he will go and medicine with me.

1101
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a little that's a little too mature for me.

1102
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 2: Okay at seven, I'm okay, just go ahead, have that tantrle.

1103
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 2: I think I would be scared if my seven year

1104
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 2: old had the balance and the fourth like the forethought

1105
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 2: to be like, Okay, you're stressing me out right now,

1106
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be right back. I'm like, no, no, you're

Speaker 2: are very.

1109
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 5: Very afraid of my son.

1110
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 4: He is actually very well, well evolved in his mind,

1111
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 4: Like he'll tell you why you're acting out.

1112
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not probably hungry.

1113
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 4: And then you have a lot of meeting and that

1114
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 4: you provide for the Stanley, and I just want to

1116
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 4: that's my right.

1117
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: But my jought.

1118
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 4: On the other hand, she takes more onto the business

1119
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 4: side of things, and she's toured with me.

1120
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 5: I've taken my daughter all around the world with us.

1121
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 4: She's eleven now, and she handles my merch when like

1122
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 4: we when we start working with volunteers and you know,

00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 4: city teams, she is the person who will set them

1124
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 4: up and take them in the corner and train them

1125
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 4: and relieve people who she thinks is sucking up my inventory.

1126
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: Come, I got your back.

1127
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 5: Mama is like she's on it. She's entrepreneurial all the way.

1128
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 4: You know, it's bedtime and she knows the best way

1129
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 4: to get out of bedtime is to be like, mom,

00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 4: what projects?

1131
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 1: You know time, it's time for you to go to bed.

1132
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,760
Speaker 1: Have you checked inventory lately?

1133
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 2: Oh?

1134
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: You know what?

1135
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 4: And so literally the other night we we've been ordering

00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 4: That is.

1142
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 2: Man, you gotta get them involved. My mom used to

1143
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 2: have us when you started being a hairdresser, she used

1144
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,439
Speaker 2: to have us hand out flyers while she was doing hair,

1145
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 2: Like we'd be outside going down to Walmart handing out

1146
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 2: them flyers.

1147
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: Man, because like, listen, that's McDonald's money, all right.

1148
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:29,919
Speaker 2: You Yeah, when your mom says do you got McDonald's money,

1149
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 2: you can actually be like, actually, I know we do

1150
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 2: have McDonald's money because we sold some.

1151
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: What about having a team, Like, what is that like?

1152
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: Because there's one thing that like, I'm gonna follow my passion.

1153
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: It's one thing that I want to be an entrepreneur.

1154
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: It's another thing to be like I'm responsible for how

1155
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 2: people get their checks.

1156
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm responsible for if.

1157
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 2: They mess something up, how it makes me look. I'm

1158
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 2: responsible for like career development, all this other stuff that

1159
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 2: comes into the skill set when you operate with other

1160
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 2: people underneath you.

1161
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: Ooh, having a.

1162
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,959
Speaker 4: Team and managing a team is the most I wish

1163
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 4: I didn't have to fucking do this shit running a

1164
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 4: company ever.

1165
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 5: And the thing is my background.

1166
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 4: You know, when I was in the workplace, was in

1167
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 4: IOH was in industrial you know, organization, and my.

1168
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 5: Job was to recruit people.

1169
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 4: So when I did spend you know a st in Texas,

1170
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 4: I was taking people from their jobs at GM and

1171
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 4: trying to convince them to move at Apple, and I

1172
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 4: would take a nominal fee.

1173
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 5: So like human resources.

1174
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 4: Is my is my back. But how like when it's

1175
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 4: your baby and it's your company, it's so hard to

1176
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 4: separate the emotions from from that. Right, Like if someone

1177
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 4: was messing up and you're a manager, you're at a

1178
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 4: store or at a company, You're like, okay, well, you know,

1179
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 4: just don't do it again, Like let's get you into

1180
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 4: some training and all of that. But when somebody makes

1181
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 4: a mistake with such a small brand, it is critical.

1182
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 4: And I tell everyone when I'm hiring you, you have

1183
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 4: the opportunity to make me a millionaire or put me

1184
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 4: on welfare.

1185
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 5: And if I end up on welfare, bitch, I'll kill you.

1186
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 4: Right, I'm not claiming that. And so so that has

1187
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 4: been the hardest part of running a company, which is

1188
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 4: finding people who are as passionate about your brand and

1189
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 4: understands your needs to be black and excellent at all times.

1190
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 4: Because if someone fucks up something, no one will say, hey,

1191
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 4: that particular employee messed up my order or gave me

1192
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 4: a bad experience. They will say trap Yoda band, and

1193
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 4: I will be considered responsible for that.

1194
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 5: So that was really hard. But you know, the biggest,

1195
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 5: the best piece of advice I.

1196
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 4: Had I've gotten as a business owner who's had a

1197
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 4: team up to eleven full time employees, is that the

1198
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 4: problem is it you don't have the right people.

1199
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 5: You don't fire the wrong people fast enough.

1200
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 4: And getting that advice changed my life because I had

1201
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 4: to realize that not firing the wrong people is not

1202
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 4: because I'm nice. That is the lie that I told myself.

1203
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 4: It's not because I need the help. That's not true

1204
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 4: because they're not helping me. It's because of you're ready

1205
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 4: for it ego. Because when you hire somebody and then

1206
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 4: you have to fire them, you have to admit that, well,

1207
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 4: you made a mistake. So we hold onto people hoping

1208
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 4: that we were wrong, and it's a matter of our pride. Now.

1209
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 4: The thing is, I believe this is what I was

1210
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 4: called to do by God him herself.

1211
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 5: And so when.

1212
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 4: You let your pride get in the way of saying, no,

1213
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 4: I know what I'm doing. I was recruitered for years.

1214
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 4: I know how to attract the right talent. I pay

1215
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 4: them and I went through everything. Maybe it's because I'm

1216
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 4: not paying them enough. And so then I started paying

1217
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 4: people more and they were still fucking up. Maybe it's

1218
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 4: because they're not culturally fit enough, and so sort of

1219
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 4: hiring people inside my chot it didn't work. And you

1220
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 4: just have to realize that there are just if everybody

1221
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 4: was called to greatness like you were, they would be running.

1222
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: Their own business.

1223
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 4: They would.

1224
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 2: And then when something goes wrong, you get the ads

1225
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 2: on Twitter now like it's not even like back in

1226
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 2: the day.

1227
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: Where like someone had to write you a strongly worded

1228
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: letter like in public.

1229
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,439
Speaker 2: It's like my motherfucking yoga pants didn't fit and at

1230
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 2: trap Yoga Bay directly on Twitter people and I am.

1231
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 4: A no nonsense personality, and so I think I get it.

1232
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 4: I think people treat me pretty kindly because my day's

1233
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 4: so strong. But I've been dragged on the internet book before,

1234
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 4: you know, stuff like oh you know people people again,

1235
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 4: they fill in the gap to those stories. You order

1236
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 4: some merch and my team sends you out, you know,

1237
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 4: a cheaper, smaller shirt, and all of a sudden, you

1238
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 4: online calling me a crook, saying I sole your money

1239
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 4: and I intentionally send you the wrong shit. And if

1240
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:00,919
Speaker 4: I go online and I I go back and forth,

1241
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 4: but you wanna be like, that doesn't make any sense.

1242
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 4: Why would I do that? It be so much better

1243
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 4: for me to keep a happy customer. It's easier to

1244
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 4: get to keep customers than it is to acquire new ones.

1245
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 4: I want you happy. You say some shit like that

1246
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 4: because I used to go back and forth like that,

1247
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 4: And then other people come in and be like, you

1248
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 4: got back customer service. You gotta att it to just

1249
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 4: send the bitch of new shirt. What's your problem. Then

1250
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 4: you're like, well, bach the shirt was bespoke, Maybe I

1251
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 4: can't get it again. I can't people, what the fuck

1252
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 4: does she want? But then people are already judging you,

1253
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 4: and you are losing money by the minute.

1254
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 5: So all you can do is fire whoever is.

1255
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:38,439
Speaker 4: Fucking up, take a deep breath, and try your best

1256
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 4: to do better. But absolutely people, Amazon has got people

1257
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 4: fucked up, people thinking, you know, if you send somebody

1258
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 4: something in the mail, baby, it's gonna get their crime

1259
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 4: tomorrow and work and when free shipping, and.

1260
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: It don't work like that, and I wouldn't even throw

1261
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: in there.

1262
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 2: Like the other part of it, too, is like people

1263
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 2: also on that inject the story into so when they

1264
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 2: see you going back and forth, it's what's wrong with you?

1265
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 2: Because what America's top people is that customer is always right.

1266
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 2: That's a lie and right and the big right. Everybody

1267
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,479
Speaker 2: that's an entrepreneur just with had the same the same

1268
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 2: excel like. But the other thing is that so we

1269
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 2: teach everybody that. But these brands are so big, and

1270
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 2: this is how I deal with our show.

1271
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:26,919
Speaker 1: The brands are so big.

1272
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 2: I just I just modeled them like I've never seen,

1273
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 2: like Time Warner Cable fighting back with a nigga about

1274
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 2: his bill, like they like, you can be on that,

1275
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 2: like you raggedy motherfuckers.

1276
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: They are not coming.

1277
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 2: They're just gonna be like, how can we help you

1278
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 2: with customer service? And have you tried direct messaging us?

1279
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 2: And yeah, like they just go through that and sometimes

1280
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 2: you even have to, especially if you have people and

1281
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 2: you know, like you said underneath, for working with you.

1282
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 2: Then I got to put a teammate on that, like you, Okay,

1283
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 2: this is what you do now because I because I'll

1284
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 2: custom motherfuck out. So I'm gonna your job, your service

1285
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,120

01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 2: job you the.

1287
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Opposite, the opposite of what I would do.

1288
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 4: I'm not homeworking him when I mean I used to

1289
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 4: like remove people, then it would become an argument and

1290
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 4: all of that. But I'm like, she can't stay here,

1291
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 4: and so now in the class, I got this thing

1292
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 4: where I say, help her, help my friend. So if

1293
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 4: I if I need someone to be removed, I will

1294
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 4: look at one of my teammates in the eye and say, hey,

1295
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 4: can you call out my friends here?

1296
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: That's smooth. I'm gonna steal that.

1297
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna steal that next time we do a next

1298
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:35,959
Speaker 2: time we do a live show.

1299
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 1: That's what we get security, y'all. He needs a lot

1300
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: of help.

1301
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 5: Doesn't alert or mess up anyone else's.

1302
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 2: Experience, right, Can I get several people to help him?

1303
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:51,320

1304
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be up here at the class.

1305
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 4: I say that. My other famous thing is like certain man,

1306
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 4: you know, I won't even look ma'am, ma'am, ma'am. Yeah,

1307

01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: I would.

1309
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 2: I also would think that if pe will probably assume

1310
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 2: if you teach yoga, you have to have like a

1311
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 2: laid back approach to whatever the fuck they do, which probably,

1312
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 2: which means they probably have you.

1313
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they probably have you fucked up a few.

1314
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 2: Times because of that, you know, because like, oh yeah, uh,

1315
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 2: she's in so I'm about to come and act the

1316
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 2: food and it's like she needs some help.

1317
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 6: Okay, I was there, I would be and then will

1318
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 6: save myself to part of that negative energy.

1319
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm not in here right, I'm not.

1320
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 5: With anybody like I won't protect my peace with a

1321
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 5: ped if I like so so so absolutely a lot

1322
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 5: of people do think that, and it isn't the same

1323
01:03:58,400 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 5: thing for Christians.

1324
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: So it wasn't yeah time that I've been and women

1325
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: and women like yeah, so.

1326
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 4: Triple hite me.

1327
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: But I'm not.

1328
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't play it like and and really

1329
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 4: it's not even about them. I'm very very protective on

1330
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 4: how I let people talk to me or how I

1331
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 4: let people treat me, because even if no one else

1332
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 4: sees that, I see that. And when you when you

1333
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 4: settle for that, what you've done is told your brain

1334
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 4: that that behavior is acceptable.

1335
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 5: And then you wonder how, and I'm speaking for my

1336
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 5: own self, how.

1337
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 4: Five years later, you were in an abusive situation and

1338
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 4: you say, I don't know how I got there, And

1339
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 4: you don't just wake up one day ready to get

1340
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 4: your ass with and.

1341
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 5: Do nothing about it. It's baby steps.

1342
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 4: It's the first time they talk to you disrespectfully and

1343
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 4: you say nothing, or they take something from you or

1344
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 4: push you or demean you and you do not stand

1345
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 4: up for that. So to make sure that I am

1346
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 4: protecting myself and what I stand for, I don't play that.

1347
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 5: I like the block button is I can show you

1348
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 5: my list.

1349
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 4: Right and that like and every now and again, if

1350
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 4: I'm in like a really gracious mood and you could

1351
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 4: feet on my page, someone will say something, I'll be like, yeah,

1352
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 4: that's the bullshit. This is your one one and don't

Speaker 5: friend of the miner.

1357
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: It's also like you like you absorb that energy too,

1358
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 1: like when you let people do that.

1359
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 2: I know I had jobs before when I wasn't happy

1360
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 2: and felt belittle at work, and it does become part

1361
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 2: of you. Like when you're not at work anymore and

1362
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 2: you're in your regular life, you're still belittling yourself.

1363
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, you're taking power and then other people you

1364
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 4: see a lot of that.

1365
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: Lot of that you see and that's.

1366
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 5: What happens when when people go and they treat.

1367
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: Waiters like like, yes, the worst kind of people.

1368
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 4: When I see that, I say, Oh, somebody's stilling their

1369
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 4: power somewhere else in their life and they're trying to

1370
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 4: take it back right now.

1371
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 2: I say this at uh when rest in peace of

1373

Speaker 2: basketball court, but I say this at the basketball court

1374
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 2: all the time because it's like when you see a

1375
01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 2: dude that got anger issues like it, it's funny because

1376
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 2: I'm knowing, very funny, And so a lot of times

1377
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 2: I just diffuse stuff because you know, I really am

1378
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 2: I'm forty one.

1379
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to ever get in a fight again

1380

01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 2: But I also don't want to have to pay a

1383
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 2: copey come on. But so, but there's been times where

1384
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 2: people are acting like super aggressive and I have been like, so,

1385
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 2: what's wrong in your life right.

1386
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Cause it can't be this.

1387
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 2: You can't be that mad because this is a file

1388
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 2: travel or whatever, like you're about to throw your life away,

1389
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 2: like fight somebody at the YMCA where you know it's

1390
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 2: police and cameras, so somebody going to jail. You know,

1391
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 2: these white folks gonna call. So it's like, what what's so,

1392
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 2: what's up with you?

1393
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: For real?

1394
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 2: And I think that's that's like sometimes it does diffuse

1395
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 2: the situation, which is interesting, like it.

1396
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: Might not be that day, but like you good.

1397
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 2: Like I had a dude, a dude I played ball with.

1398
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 2: He was super aggressive and you know, saying. I talked

1399
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 2: to him one day. I was just like, hey, man,

1400
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 2: what are you doing, Like like you got a real

1401
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 2: job where you're gonna fight some little kid in here?

1402
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: Like what are you about to do? And yeah?

1403
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 2: Like and so maybe like maybe two or three days later,

1404
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 2: we was hanging out after we played ball and he

1405
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 2: would just started talking to me about his wife was pregnant.

1406
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 2: He was scared she was gonna have a miscaage because

1407
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 2: they had one before and all this, and I, you know,

1408
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 2: the introverted me was like, why the fuck is he

1409
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 2: telling me all this?

1410
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: But I like, but it came back.

1411
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 2: I was like, oh because I because I instead of

1412
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 2: just telling him shut the fuck up the other day, I.

1413
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: Said, are you okay? And now this is the thing.

1414
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, but but like we transformed that energy together,

1415
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So he was a lot

1416
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 2: less you know, lashing out, But I think that stuff

1417
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 2: is important. Another thing I noticed too, you have a

1418
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 2: lot of followers on Instagram. Okay, you're out there, you're flexing, your.

1419
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: Thirst, trapping.

1420
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 2: You got the you got the brand, you got the

1421
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 2: you know, I just got my own brand of content.

1422
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 2: You know this week, Uh, you know, got to start somewhere.

1423
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 2: Was it like like being an influencer making that move

1424
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 2: over there to you know what.

1425
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean to like to that influencer.

1426
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 4: I had a really hard time adjusting at first. It

1427
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 4: was never my desire to be famous or popular. It

1428
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 4: actually wasn't until I started the company that I was

1429
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 4: that I opened up an Instagram account. I'm not a

1430
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 4: social media person at all. I'm actually very very present

1431
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 4: wherever I'm at. That is where I want to be

1432
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 4: in social media does not always allow you to do that.

1433
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 4: So I think I realized that I had got famous

1434
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 4: when my daughter came back and told me some a

1435
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 4: kid from her a kid's parent like stopped her and

1436
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 4: was like, you got the green, but nottera has the

1437
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 4: green streak in her hair as well, you got the

1438
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 4: green streak or you talk yoga ban starter, Look, let

1439
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 4: me show these videos and set there and it was

1440
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 4: a woman who she knew, but set there on on

1441
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 4: a bench at the school watching me on YouTube. And

1442
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 4: I went to New York Did you ever go with you?

1443
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 2: Mom?

1444
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 3: Oh?

1445
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 5: Shit, like this is the thing.

1446
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 4: And then and then it really hit me when I

1447
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 4: would travel and I like walk down the street and

1448
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 4: people are like, Yoga Bay, and I'm like, wow, did

1449
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 4: you come to a class?

1450
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 5: Like I've never been to your class before? And I

1451
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 5: hadn't known that people would.

1452
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 4: Have never been to my class, knew who I was

1453
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 4: and had a relationship with me in their mind. So

1454
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 4: if I can be honest, at first of the scariest fuck,

1455
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 4: every time somebody would walk up to me and tell

1456
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 4: me who I was and how I impacted their life,

1457
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 4: I was like they were murder me, Like think the

1458
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 4: hard time I wanted to leave the house.

1459
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 2: First, They're like, oh my god, trap Yoga Bay forty

1460
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 2: five thirty six, lazy yo lane, what's up? Girl?

1461
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 3: Like no, no, no.

1462
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 4: The most scary time that I was teaching in Atlanta

1463
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 4: and a woman was like I'm such a stand and

1464
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 4: you know, I lived in my little bubble.

1465
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 5: I didn't know what sam meant at the time, and

1466
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 5: I was like, what is this sing?

1467
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 4: And she's like a.

1468
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 5: Super fan, you know, like the Eminem song.

1469
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,560
Speaker 4: Now, I'm from California, so I have to just be

1470
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 4: honest and be like, white rappers are a thing here.

1471
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 5: I loved Eminem growing up and.

1472
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: Then okay, her to her before you even move on,

1473
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: before you even move on? Why why everybody gotta act

1474
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: like nobody like Eminem? No more? What happened? You know

1475
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, what happened? But as a like, yeah,

1476
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: he had a moment, he had a he had a time.

1477
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: It's all I'm saying.

1478
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 2: I feel like the Internet trying to erase They trying

1479
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 2: to erase his time, like it wasn't a time where

1480
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 2: he was running the game. He was running the game

1481
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 2: for about four or five years. That's That's all I

1482
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 2: wanted to do to look, that's the only aspect I

1483
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 2: want to add.

1484
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 4: Heavy. Yeah, he was running heavy, And so the whole

1485
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 4: song flashed my head right like I literally fit the

1486
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 4: bucket gaar me to drive. You know, the song about

1487
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 4: about that guy and I.

1488
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: Was like, oh, she right, please don't go. She needs

1489
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: a lot of help, she needs a lot of help,

1490
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 1: extra help, just green like you.

1491
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 4: Right, no, seriously, And so then I, you know, I

1492
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 4: have to get safe to be honest. The brand has

1493
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 4: has called on stalkers. I've had to travel with security before.

1494
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 4: And you know, on one hand, it's crazy in that

1495
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 4: I've impacted people's lives so much that they that they

1496
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 4: want to be closer and they want you to be

1497
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 4: a part of it. And it is super you know,

1498
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 4: super admirable that there are people who fly to every

1499
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:43,799
Speaker 4: single class. There are people who I've seen in Detroit,

1500
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 4: I've seen in Atlanta, I've seen in New York, I've

1501
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 4: seen in California. I've even seen them in in fucking Mexico.

1502
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 5: Like they come.

1503
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 4: Everywhere, right, and and you don't know what's going on.

1504
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 4: My biggest concern is if we have a relationship that

1505
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:02,600
Speaker 4: I don't know about, that's but no, that by me

1506
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 4: just being open enough to share my story and exist

1507
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 4: in the world as I am, that that is enough

1508
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 4: to transform people's lives. So it's got, it's got, it's

1509
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 4: got both sides to the coin. It's actually made me

1510
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 4: very protective of other celebrities and things when they be like, oh,

1511
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 4: she know what she was doing and like the whole

1512
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 4: like that's the cost of fame, and you're just like,

1513
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 4: you know, not everybody actually asks for fame, right that, Like,

1514
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 4: and and I accept it because I know that I

1515
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 4: am called to leave a legacy for the masses, and

1516
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 4: it's a part of the territory. But people feel entitled

1517
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 4: to certain aspects of your life and certain thoughts and

1518
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 4: think that you owe them an explanation. You know, if

1519
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 4: I was, if I was here, I would have told

1520
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 4: them that it's not nothing. I tell y'all shit, you know,

1521
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 4: but and and and all of that, And that doesn't

1522
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 4: have to come with a territory, right, the right to.

1523
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 5: Be able to separate the art that they put in

1524
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 5: the world.

1525
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 4: Yes, right, Like teachers don't don't answer to their students

1526
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 4: and tell their students who they dating and all that

1527
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 4: sort of thing, and it's encouraged that they keep their

1528
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 4: personal life very very separate. Why can't it be the

1529
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 4: same for celebrityhood. Why can't you just take the fucking

1530
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 4: art and let me live my life.

1531
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,600
Speaker 1: That's what I love about Beyonce, Like Beyonce was so

1532
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: ahead of her time with that shit.

1533
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 2: She was like, I feel my own shit around my house.

1534
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 2: I will let you guys know when it is for sale.

1535
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 2: Other than that, yes, stay the funk away from me,

1536
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 2: like we gonna be Like I saw something like there

1537
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 2: was a thing on Twitter the other day where like

1538
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 2: she was with I think I think maybe Roomy was

1539
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: running around or something, and Papa Rozzi clearly were somewhere

1540
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 2: they weren't supposed to detaking pictures, and you can see

1541
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 2: the picture where Beyonce saw them and the picture where

1542
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 2: she got Roomy and left like she don't play that shit.

1543
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 2: But but you have to have that because the entitlement

1544
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,680
Speaker 2: is so real right now, Like people feel entitled to

1545
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 2: everything about you and whatever their belief system is. They

1546
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 2: feel like you let them down if you don't have

1547
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,080

Speaker 1: Sife and when you see like.

1567
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,000

01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:01,560
Speaker 2: Cardi b is taking her like she used to be

1569

Speaker 1: Now she's going to only fans.

1571
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 2: So she's kind of putting that paywall between it. And

1572
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:08,600
Speaker 2: it's not that people won't pay for it, a lot

1573
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 2: of people will pay whatever she's five dollars ten. What

1574
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 2: it is is that she's saying invest like, you can't

1580
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,400

1581
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:33,800

Speaker 2: a lot of them are going through it in front

1584
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 2: of us, and then people are ruthless to them, and

1585
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 2: then they react, and then we judging for reacting like

1586
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 2: it's a no win situation for that shit.

1587
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 4: Before all of that, they get that's a frank ocean.

1621
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 2: what about like the white influence within like yoga, dealing

1622
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 2: with brands, all this stuff, Like how much does that

1623
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 2: affect like what you do?

1624
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 1: Does it? Does it not affect it at all? Like

1625
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:34,759
Speaker 1: how do you deal with that type of stuff?

1626
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 2: And is that because I know, like in every other lane,

1627
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 2: like makeup tutorials, there's like y'all deal with white people ship,

1628
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 2: white people hating on you for no reason, white people saying,

1629
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 2: you know, shady ship brands.

1630
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 1: That you know are insensitive but they don't understand stuff.

1631
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: Have you had to deal with that.

1632
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 4: Very early on I did, and I think the thing

1633
01:17:56,120 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 4: that changed that was realizing and this is like be

1634
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 4: a yogi kind of ideation that I will never ask

1635
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 4: anyone for acceptance, nor will I wouldhold acceptance of them.

1636
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 4: And that means I'm not going to you know, in

1637
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 4: the beginning, I reached out to a lot of brands

1638
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 4: and asked for support and they told me no, like,

1639
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 4: we don't your branded yoga is not recognized, or you

1640
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 4: know all you know, tell me more about your lineage

1641
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 4: and you know, all of those sort of things. And

1642
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 4: yoga lineage is who you taught them, who taught them

1643
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 4: to be back to one of the hours of yoga.

1644
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 5: It's very very important stuff.

1645
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,600
Speaker 4: And so what I realized was, I'm not going to

1646
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 4: ask for see at they're tables, I'm going to build one.

1647
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 4: And very early on, a lot of people would tell

1648
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 4: me things like, you know, you got to stop cussing,

1649
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 4: you got to stop with that ass shaking, you got

1650
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 4: to stop like they're judging you, and you will never

1651
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 4: get the big deals. And the crazy thing is when

1652
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,560
Speaker 4: I got my biggest deal, my biggest deal offering. I

1653
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 4: actually started turning them down. And when you remember that

1654
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 4: you are the prize and you are the way and

1655
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,880
Speaker 4: you are the future you, you will get told no

1656
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 4: a lot. But people be so focused on how many

1657
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 4: knows you did and not realizing that only all it

1658
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 4: takes is one yes to teach one yes. And after

1659
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:16,680
Speaker 4: that first brand said yes to me, it opened up

1660
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 4: so much more. But you have to you have to

1661
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 4: know your self value right, And I always think it.

1662
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 4: We'll talk about see the Table. I always think about that,

1663
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 4: that that skin in Solanja See the Table album where

1664
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 4: it was masterp be talking saying my brother was mad

1665
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:32,799
Speaker 4: because I didn't.

1666
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 5: Take that money.

1667
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 4: He said, man, they offered you a million dollars. And

1668
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 4: I thought to myself, if this white man is willing

1669
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 4: offer me million dollars, how much mon really want? Right?

1670
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 4: And And that was something to me when I would

1671
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 4: give a price and they'd be like yes, and I'd

1672
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 4: be like, ooh, you know, y'all say yes to fast,

1673
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 4: so you know I know that I'm undervaluating myself and

1674
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 4: now my prices are hot. You know. When I taught

1675
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 4: at Essence, I was like hey, you know, tell me

1676
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 4: more about it, and they say, you're actually the most

1677
01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 4: expensive yoga teacher you've ever paid.

1678
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,799
Speaker 5: But I was also the only person, the only, only.

1679
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:05,759
Speaker 4: Yoga instructor who ever sold out in thirty two minutes.

1680
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 5: I was the only yoga instructor.

1681
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 4: Who had a ninety six percent of people who were

1682
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 4: interested in my class to be put on the weight

1683
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,680
Speaker 4: list because the demand was too high. I was the

1684
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 4: only yoga instructor who who had the second largest weight list,

1685
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 4: only number two to Michelle Obama. So you don't have

1686
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:28,679
Speaker 4: to see my work and my value, but you ain't.

1687

Speaker 3: You know what.

1691
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 5: I'm gonna call them out.

1692
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 4: Just the other day, Apple reached out to me, asked

1693
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 4: me to teach, and I said, yes, these are my prices,

1694
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 4: and their response was, please explain to us what we'd

1695
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:43,559
Speaker 4: be getting for this price.

1696
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 5: And my response was, we're not a good thing, right,

1697
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 5: I'm explain to you.

1698
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 4: If you don't see the value, if you think that

1699
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 4: I'm just any o other yoga teacher, if you think

1700
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 4: that what I offer as a mere commodity, then go

1701
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 4: somewhere else. But that's the difference in why people pay

1702
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 4: what they pay for a Supreme T shirt versus a

1703
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 4: Haines T shirt because they all fucking T shirts that

1704
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 4: are going to cover your back. But one has built

1705
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,640
Speaker 4: themselves to say that I am of value, that I

1706
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 4: am desirable, that this is what it is, and do

1707
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 4: just hain selling my T shirts?

1708
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I bet you they got to do more work.

1709
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 4: I bet you there are people they got to offer

1710
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 4: sales because they have discounted themselves. Right.

1711
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 5: So what I offer is not body. What I offer

1712
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 5: is an experience. So I don't care when a brand

1713
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 5: is with me.

1714
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 4: And I also don't get a shit about cloud. There

1715
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 4: are a lot of people who are influencers who care

1716
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 4: more about clout than money.

1717
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:45,280
Speaker 5: I don't get my foot's important. So keeping those things

1718
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:47,640
Speaker 5: in mind, and to remember what.

1719
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 4: Are your goals If you do not know what it

1720
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 4: is that if you want then one your goals become arbitrary.

1721
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:56,639
Speaker 4: I mean, even when you get them, you don't believe

1722
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 4: that you got them because you didn't set it in

1723
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 4: stone until you have those standard. If you don't have

1724
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,560
Speaker 4: a standard, then then you fall. Then you fall to

1725
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 4: the waistside. And and we have to. We have to,

1726
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 4: especially as women, especially as black women, and in these

1727
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 4: white spaces, we have to start to value ourselves so

1728
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 4: much so that we walk away from things that do

1729
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 4: not serve our greater good.

1730
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 5: I have never ever ever thought that it was.

1731
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 4: It ended up feeling like it was a good.

1732
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 5: Idea when I just counted myself whenever.

1733
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 4: I lowered my prices because because for whatever reason, it

1734
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,679
Speaker 4: has never worked out in my favor. It has always

1735
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 4: been bullshit because they are always demanding more of you

1736
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 4: because you've told them that I am willing to work

1737
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 4: harder for less. So you sit your ass down and

1738
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 4: if you can't find somebody to buy your product, you

1739
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:48,839
Speaker 4: need to revaluate your quality.

1740
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 2: You might help And that's for your And it's like,

1741
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 2: what about within the yogi community, is there like yogi beef?

1742
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 2: Like do they is it like yogis Like it's it's

1743
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 2: almost oxymoronic, right because like you think of yoga's is

1744
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 2: all these like like all these.

1745
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 1: Is in the world.

1746
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 4: Man, So right now, I wouldn't know how many people

1747
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,639
Speaker 4: in the yoga community are not fucking with me, because

1748
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:23,759
Speaker 4: interestingly enough, I've I've risen as a as a business,

1749
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 4: as a brand and as as and honestly, I fall

1750
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 4: more under the entertainments going right because I produce events.

1751
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 4: But in the beginning, oh my god, I got so

1752
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,759
Speaker 4: many messages you denigrate the message of yoga.

1753
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 5: What you're doing is so bullshit.

1754
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 4: And I have to be honest, like one of my

1755
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 4: one of my softoes is still in excluded, right. That's

1756
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 4: why I created this inclusive community because I felt excluded

1757
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:52,839
Speaker 4: from the yoga experience. And so sometimes I go online

1758
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,880
Speaker 4: and I see all of these yogi's black yogis who

1759
01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 4: get together and they do yoga collective and they bence

1760
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:02,600
Speaker 4: and all that shit, and I'll be like, damn, my

1761
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 4: miss right. And then when I do get invites and

1762
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 4: they be like, yeah, Sence, and you'll come and you'll

1763
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 4: teach them, okay for your hotel room, packing them a

1764
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 4: hotel room. So we also have to remember that it's

1765
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 4: not always because people don't like you that they exclude

1766
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 4: you from the party. It's because you are exclusive. You

1767
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:28,640
Speaker 4: know your work, and we have to be able to

1768
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 4: sit as a party of one and only move when

1769
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,960
Speaker 4: it makes sense. So you get excluded from a lot

1770
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 4: of things, and it might be because they don't like

1771
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 4: my branding. It might be because I don't fit in

1772
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 4: the boxes that people are comfortable with, but I think

1773
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 4: a lot of it is I don't play about my

1774
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 4: work and and so all of the partnerships that I've

1775
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 4: done have been extremely advantageous. I have about three women

1776
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 4: in the wellness space who I've partner with, and every

1777
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 4: single one of us have created million dollar brands. The

1778
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 4: million dollar brands, but then yoga company, So do I

1779
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 4: do I really give a fuck about some bits? Needing

1780
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 4: to meditate and forget me.

1781
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 1: Right now? I feel you man Like I.

1782
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 2: Always like to ask that question when we have people

1783
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 2: on that we're interviewing, because it's it's so interesting, like

1784
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 2: how much everything is kind of the same, Like it

1785
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:26,560
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what laying you're in, it's always like some

1786
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 2: petty motherfucker.

1787
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: You're just like, oh you they come, oh yeah, the.

1788
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 4: Yoga it's you know people because because they're all ever ever,

1789
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 4: yoga's in the feeling. So I feel like you were

1790
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 4: lacking compassions, like.

1791
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 5: Like you perfect.

1792
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 4: And I think the biggest thing for me has been

1793
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 4: to be honest. Trust issues I have. I have rights

1794
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 4: and ownerships, you know, I don't play about that in

1795
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 4: the email. My pr probably told you there's there's a

1796
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 4: little R that goes at the end of trap Yoga, baby,

1797
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:00,719
Speaker 4: because this is a regist your trademark.

1798
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 5: I thought for two years and spent a lot.

1799
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 4: Of money to keep ownership over the track Yoga track

1800
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:09,719
Speaker 4: Yoga Bay brand. And I've had yo be friends who offer,

1801
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 4: friends who offered to go on tour with me. And

1802
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:15,599
Speaker 4: then six months later I see that they that they've

1803
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 4: been trying to teach trap yoga, and so now I

1804
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:19,799
Speaker 4: got to send my friends and cease and desist.

1805
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:25,560
Speaker 1: Right a man, Yeah, that sucks. Business man, that is

1806
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: the worst.

1807
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:29,639
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what you what you pushed, right because

1808
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,680
Speaker 4: we all all any of us ever sell us energy. Yes,

1809
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 4: all energy in one form or another, which means you're

1810
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 4: gonna deal with the same energetic low vibration, the same

1811
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 4: the same people who you know see you in a

1812
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 4: healthy relationship and instead.

1813
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 5: Of being like I want a man like that won't

1814
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 5: show man that it's the.

1815
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 4: Same thing in business, it's the same thing in friendships,

1816
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 4: it's the same thing in health and happiness, and it

1817
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 4: comes with the territory. The question is do you have

1818
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 4: enough in internal strength to do that, and that's why I.

1819
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,879
Speaker 5: Say, like my job, you know, in a ratteral affirmation,

1820
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 5: my goal in.

1821
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 4: Life is to be there for everyone else, but to

1822
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 4: never leave my motherfuckerself behind, which come from my ship,

Speaker 4: which I'm coming for you, and I meet it with

1824
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 4: peace and love. And I want you to be your

1825
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 4: best self, and you being your best self is not

1826
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 4: being the Walmart t Value secondarate.

1827
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 5: Version of me.

1828
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 2: Come on, it's funny because we've had that happen forward

1829
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 2: to show if someone's like we heard another podcast and

1830
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 2: they did a segment like this segment y'all play on

1831
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 2: your game or whatever, and I'm like, like, at one

1832
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 2: point I used to get real pissed about it, but

1833
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 2: now I'll really be like, it's literally they could steal

1834
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 2: the name, they can steal, they can try to do everything,

1835
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 2: and they would never be able to do what we

1836
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 2: do because.

1837
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,640
Speaker 1: We do only we can do us. Now, obviously, you

1838
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you're gonna get that season desist,

1839
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,880
Speaker 1: but still you can all get it.

1840
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 5: What are we saying the ratchet affirmation. They can steal

1841
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 5: your recipe, but baby, the sauce will.

1842
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 4: Never tease the same.

01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: Come on now, I love it. I love it. All right,

1844
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:00,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna get out of here.

1845
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 4: This is a we've been kicking it.

1846
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, pull up with Charlotte.

01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:15,600

1851
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 1: No, we got I mean, look, we got a lot

1852
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: of black people here.

1853
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so we hold it down. I just figured that

01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 2: when I've seen you know, some of the places you
