And Yoga Studios
And Yoga Studios began late in 2014 as Locale, an independent fair-trade handmade gift shop in Bed-Stuy, with a cozy yoga studio in the backroom; the yoga studio itself opened in 2015 and the shop was eventually retired. The studio describes itself as "a semi-private yoga, wellness and spiritual center that offers specialized classes in meditation, breathing and yoga" with "smaller class sizes offering more adjustments and individualized attention." It was, by its own account, one of the first full-service yoga studios and the first aerial yoga studio in Bed-Stuy. Its founder, who publishes under the name Young Yoga, writes that he is "one of only a few black men in America who owns a yoga studio" and runs The Black Men Yoga Project, offering free or sliding-scale yoga to Black men in the community.
