In this interview Emma Barnes, we chat about the big problem of ableism in the meditation space (and we talk about yoga, too) and how the image of a thin, white, affluent person seeking “just a little stress relief” does a big disservice to a lot of individuals who could use meditations (and yoga) to improve their sense of well-being.
