Meet Jesal!
Jesal Parikh (she/they) is an Indian-American yoga teacher, movement educator, podcaster, author, and disrupter working on creative solutions for equity in yoga. She's co-host of the Yoga is Dead podcast and offers movement education through the lens of social justice.
Through her work, Jesal aims to uplift people who may feel isolated and marginalized by the yoga industry.
“My favorite wellness ritual is walking my dog. Sometimes I have a love/hate relationship with this, especially when the weather isn't great. But if it weren't for my fur baby, there are days I probably wouldn't get away from the screens or get up and walk all that much. Plus, it's a great way to bond with my dog— and my husband who usually tries to walk with us.”
She spent her money on an essential oil diffuser, a sex toy, and the Fit Desi Food Guide, among other things.
