Dr. Wanida Lewis a commencé à pratiquer le yoga en tant que coureur de longue distance passionnée tout en fréquentant une école d'études supérieures à Raleigh, NC. En 2010, elle a assisté à son premier cours de yoga intitulé «Yoga pour les coureurs» au magasin de course Fleet Feet local. Ce n'était pas de l'amour au début, mais Wanida a fini par aimer le yoga au fil du temps, en particulier pour sa blessure au tibia. Après avoir terminé son doctorat et déménagé à Minneapolis en 2013, Wanida a pu consacrer plus de temps à sa pratique et explorer les types carieux. Son amour pour la pratique a grandi, mais pas son amour pour le froid. En tant que praticienne de longue date, Wanida a complété ses certifications restauratrices, yin et 200 heures vinyasa au Yess Yoga Studio à Minneapolis, Minnesota. En 2016, Wanida a déménagé à Washington, DC. Elle se consacre à l'utilisation du yoga comme outil pour réduire le stress et les traumatismes pour les communautés de couleur.
