A certain image comes to mind when people think of yoga. Chic workout clothes, expensive mats, and maybe even a matcha in hand as a post-workout pick-me-up are all things people picture. What’s more, yoga studios are often located in more affluent areas, with prices that can be prohibitive for some communities. But a woman who goes by the name Blu Inoarg has found a unique way to strip away all the extras and bring yoga to underserved communities.

Blu owns InoarG, a yoga studio in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she also doubles as a birth doula. One of her programs is what she calls “Pull Up N Yoga.” She drives around local neighborhoods with yoga mats looking for groups of people hanging out outside. When she spots a group, she rolls her window down and asks them if they want to do yoga.

Community care in action

Blu doesn’t try to sell them a class or get them to come to her yoga studio.........
