Dr Chelsea A. Jackson

Dr. Chelsea A. Jackson's work explores the lived experiences of individuals across multiple communities and her most recent research utilizes the lived experiences of Black teen yoga practitioners who use yoga and storytelling as mediums for critical literacy development. Working primarily within marginalized communities, Chelsea seeks to understand the ways in which power and privilege impact lives at the intersection of race, class, and gender.

Her important research has practical implications within the community she is part of (and beyond) through trainings and educational programmes and her blog  yogis-in-the-community highlights the diversity of people practicing and teaching yoga today. Go check it out!
