Black women yoga instructors have historically been made invisible in mainstream yoga magazines, books, and advertising. Although there is considerable research on yoga’s impact on Black women’s holistic health, there is significantly less material on Black women yoga instructors who \"talk back\" not only to the dominant society, but also to traditional intracultural ways of being spiritually, physically, and mentally. In fact, the social justice work that these women have produced can be viewed as liberatory spirituality and instruction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Celebrating healing, resistance, and the transformative journey of yoga, \u003ci\u003eBlack Girls Om Too \u003c\/i\u003efeatures inspiring contributions from trailblazing Black women in the wellness space. Donna Noble of Curvesome Yoga advocates for body positivity and inclusivity in yoga, while Saisha Lacon Baskerville of Thick Thigh Yoga empowers women to embrace their full selves through movement. Linda Wellness Warrior shares her wisdom on self-care and spiritual growth, and Irene Auma, founder of Peace Within Prison Yoga, highlights yoga’s healing power for incarcerated individuals. In addition to these remarkable voices, the book includes many more contributors who share their unique journeys and perspectives. Together, they redefine what it means to find peace, strength, and liberation on the mat, in their communities, and through their impactful work in digital spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRachel Panton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Healing and Spiritual Activism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: God, Nature, and Yoga as Somewhere in Between\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSariane Leigh\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: The Journey of the Self: One Black Yogini’s Path to Spiritual Activism\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJo-Jo Totayhma Jackson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Finding Breath: The Making of a Breath Artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLacretia \"Cre\" Dye \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Sacred Similarities: How Yoga Transformed My Understanding of the Ten Commandments\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShanina Carmichael \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: The Chocolate Garden of Grief: Asana as a Healing Ritual\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLove Ashleie Elaine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: #MindAsWell: An Exploration of a Journey Beyond Resiliency and into Well-Being\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTamia A.
