HerStory
After working in the wellness industry for nearly a decade, our founders (albeit slowly) realized the disconnect between the message of yoga (unity, empowerment for all, and community building) and the way in which yoga was actually “sold”; as a predominately white, wealthy, thin-bodied, fitness hobby. In 2015 MVSY was founded in order to take yoga outside of overpriced studios, outside of the ideas of white-centered wellness, and into our communities at large. We still have a long way to go. We continue to grow and learn in our commitment to ensuring yoga and mindfulness are accessible to and representative of all people. We’re not perfect, we do not always get this right, but through authentic relationship building and community engagement - we are in the long and faithful work for life.
