Usually our podcasts feel more like an interview. In this episode it felt like a few old friends who've known each other for years, kickin it! Be ready to go from laughter to serious shit in a flash with us as we had the chance to sit down and chat with Vinyasa instructor Brittney, CEO of Trap Yoga Bae. Hailing from West Oakland and now residing in Los Angeles, CA, Brittney keeps it 100 with us and openly shares with us everything from being jailed in Singapore to travels that helped form the person in front of us. Being a Black in the Yoga space can be a challenge in a realm dominated by white women in Lulu Lemon, sipping Chai Lattes. We delve into what sparked the journey to India to grow, heal and find self.  From Baldwin to Josephine Baker, the notion of Black Americans stepping outside to find perspective is nothing new. Authentic, honest, open and unapologetic are some of the words I would use for this episode... It's straight fire.Jump into the Trap Tribe community: https://tribe.trapyogabae.com/sign_up Download the TrapYogaBae App:iOS link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1535089546#?platform=iphoneAndroid link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mightybell.trapyogabaeFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trapyogabae/?hl=enFind The Upgrade Guys (Mobility Membership & More)http://www.theupgradeguys.comFind us on Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/theupgradeguysJoin our VIP list:http://eepurl.com/gcLMNj

You read it right! If you identify as both partly sophisticated & partly ratchet, then this episode is for you! Join us as we welcome special guest, Britteny Floyd aka Trap Yoga Bae, as she welcomes us to her world of all things trap & yoga. Everything from cultural relevance, to twerking, to healing, this is easily an episode that you don’t want to miss!

Our wellbeing, as black womxn, has been heightened especially because of rona and black bodies being killed too consistently. Yet we're still expected to show up as superwomxn in all the places we occupy space even when we're exhausted mentally, emotionally, and physically. Lest we forget corporations are now acting like black is in, as if we'll ever go out of style, and wanting to include us in more spaces calling it diversity and inclusion. It was a no brainer when I was introduced to Britteny's story, who affectionately goes by the name Trap Yoga Bae. On her own journey to wellness and happiness, she studied and practiced yoga eventually putting her own spin on it. She curated a space for us to be our authentic selves, namaste, twerking, and all. From her Trap Tribe to her Ratchet Affirmations, Trap Yoga Bae has built a community and brand on showing up whole. She and I wax poetic about her journey, the power in our voices, insight for other black womxn wanting to get in the wellness space, and my remix to the game F**k, Marry, Kill, which I called Sex, Marry, and Throw Away.

Certified in India, Britteny returned home to create her own brand of Yoga -- complete with a live DJ.

Several months back, in February of this year, I sat down with Brittney Floyd-Mayo, best known as "Trap Yoga Bae" to talk all things yoga, self-care and healing. Brittney, a native of Oakland, California, began yoga in college as a means of channeling her energy in a productive and non-confrontational way, and found her way back to yoga years later after hitting rock bottom. She went on her own "Eat, Pray, Love" journey and traveled to India, China, and Brazil to learn from the best of the best and immerse herself in healing. She later vowed to help other woman find their own healing through yoga, but in a much more comfortable setting.  Brittney teaches Vinyasa style yoga to the tunes of trap music curated by a live DJ and reinforced by "ratchet affirmations" and sisterhood. Her classes attract hundreds of students and the style of "trap yoga" has skyrocketed in popularity.  Brittney is a true firecracker and does not hold back. There was tons of laughter in this episode. Oh, and you might want to listen with headphones if you're at work or around little people. There's some adult language in this one! Heads up!  You can find Trap Yoga Bae on all things social at: @trapyogabae.  Her website is www.itsyogabae.com. Let's get into it!

GUEST Mel Phillips was born and raised in the Carolinas and is a newly certified part-time yoga instructor and full-time devotee to the restaurant industry. She graduated from East Carolina University in 2014 with a Bachelors in Communication and a Bachelors in Merchandising. Mel escaped the South after graduation and moved to Chicago. She spends the majority of her “free” time teaching yoga for special communities and organizations like I Grow Chicago in Englewood and Yoga for Recovery, an organization that brings the practice of yoga and mindfulness to women in Cook County Corrections. Mel has specialty training in trauma-informed yoga and actively pursues bringing mind and body practice to those with limited access. When she isn’t running reservation systems for restaurants or teaching seven-year olds crow pose, she is sitting at home cuddling her hairless cat @sophiathesphynx.
 OVERVIEW Mel, a collaborator with SoapBox’s ongoing Fitness Against Fascism series, brings her trauma-informed yoga experience to the discussion around holistic health, access to wellness care, and the ways in which we challenge systems of oppression in seemingly apolitical industries. What does equity and liberation look like in the allied health continuum? Together, using Fitness Against Fascism as model, we extrapolate the connections between social justice and holistic health at various levels. Mel first speaks on the lack of women of color she noticed in mainstream yoga spaces and the article that changed that perception (see Black Girl in Om) as well as teaching yoga to women in pre-trail detention in Cook County Corrections. With that in mind, BrownTown discusses the different levels and roles people can take in addressing systemic inequality in fitness spaces—both meeting people where they are at and challenging more established institutions (see Trap Yoga Bae and the SoapBox article on her). The gang breakdown Chicago heat maps and critique the un-coincidental lack of access to traditional fitness spaces in the same areas that lack many social determinants of health (see Episode 7 with Jessica Puri). Mel parallels this with the popularization of “self-care” and the power and privilege aligned with the necessary yet commodified phenomenon. She and BrownTown take a step back to investigate the function capitalism has in this regarding worker productivity, paid leave, and owners valuing employees for their humanity versus their ability to sell their labor for longer, both in the US and abroad. The conversation rests on the notion that it's crucial to understand that health and wellness, like everything else in our socialized world, is not apolitical. Our destinies are connected to each other and it's imperative, now more than ever, to be vulnerable and take initiative in and outside of these spaces. Health must be radical in its analysis and holistic in its approach if we are to truly obtain equity in wellness. -- “Fitness Against Fascism" is an on-going SoapBox series of events, dialogues, and community collaborations. The first two events were workout fundraisers at CrossTown Fitness where SoapBox paired anti-oppressive, liberatory-minded high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts with yoga sessions in tandem with a community conversation about the topics of this episode. Other Chicago companies and organizations mentioned: aSweatLife, Healthy Hood, and the Chicago Community Bond Fund.
