Segregated Denver Yoga Chain Shut Down For Insufficient WokenessBy Tristan Justice. July 24, 2020
If one still needed more proof that there’s no pleasing our new woke overlords, look no further than the story of an exhaustively woke Denver-based yoga chain that just wasn’t woke enough despite its business being the wokest of the woke.
Last month, “Kindness Yoga,” which held person-of-color and LGBTQ-only nights where “white friends and allies” were not invited, was forced to shut down its nine studios and lay off 160 employees following online outrage from now-former teachers charging the franchise with “performative activism” and “tokenization of Black and brown bodies.”
Once again, reality proves that you can't win by surrendering to the mob. Eventually, the mob will chew you up and spit you out, leaving you to wonder how it is possible, since you gave in to all their demands.
