INDIANAPOLIS — In Jasmine Morrison’s yoga class, she wants you to feel welcome, no matter your size, color, gender, or age.
“Yoga means unity,” Morrison said.
She’s completed 500 hours of teaching training at the Hot Room. Feeling included is important to Morrison, who said she felt invisible after visiting a boxing studio.
