Interview: Dr. Gail Parker, PhD, C-IAYT, E-RYT
We are so excited to share our conversation with Dr. Gail Parker!
Gail Parker, Ph.D. CIAYT, E-RYT 500 is an author, psychologist, educator, certified yoga therapist and a lifelong practitioner of yoga. She became president of the Black Yoga Teachers Alliance (BYTA) Board of Directors in 2020. Dr. Parker is well known for her pioneering efforts to blend psychology, yoga, and meditation as effective self-care strategies that can enhance emotional balance, and contribute to the overall health and well-being of practitioners.
Dr. Parker has appeared as a psychologist expert on local and nationally
syndicated talk shows, including numerous appearances on the Oprah Show.
Her first book, Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Stress and Trauma, offers self-care strategies and invites everyone, not just those directly impacted, to explore the intersection of yoga, race and ethnicity, and to consider the psychological impact of race-based stress and trauma on all of us. The companion book, Transforming Ethnic and Race-Based Traumatic Stress With Yoga invites us to reimagine and engage in healing strategies for ethnic and racial stress and trauma that lead to post traumatic growth.

A very special episode: Abortion
In the light of the SCOTUS decision over turning Roe V. Wade, the WTLG wanted to turn our grief into something that is (hopefully) constructive for the couragitarians. It was certainly cathartic for us. This episode contains fun facts about the progress women have made in the last 50 years, personal abortion stories, facts, statistics and above all support for the RADICAL notion that women, as humans, have the right to full body autonomy.
Warning: this episode discusses sexual assault, abusive relationships, traumatic experiences, and sex
