people who invest in opening businesses in the area are called racist because they’re a white owned business in a black neighborhood


I am sure they would tell you that a black owned business in a white is also racist.

I would suggest offering your space at specific times to community organizations to use as a meeting place. Having scholarships for classes and teacher trainings to low income community members. Having a townhall where community members can meet with you guys and address the issues they’ve raised in posts. That kind of thing.


Oh, yeah, that'll pay the rent...

I seem to remember about 8-10 years ago complaints about the lack of business investment in New Orleans East and the 9th Ward.


Going to be the same story with NBR and the Plank rd corridor.

So they are angry because she is white and started a business in their community?


Of course. One of the comments stated that opening the business was a micro aggression.

Owner’s Instagram comment deflected the calling-the-cops allegation by saying it wasn’t her but someone in the hood, to report a carjacking. God forbid one would want to find inner zen without being carjacked.

The left cannibalizes its own yet again. I guess they won’t have her pink yoga house full of nut jobs to push around any more!

Then you look at the rest of their posts and realize how fricking looney that thing is.

jessehartsnola: From the inception of COY, Dana used the power of her skin color and her economic position to gentrify this space then grossly misappropriated and branded a yoga studio as a hot pink “church” in a Black community. No one in the community asked her to come heal them and she received tons of criticism and backlash but proceed forward along with the endless other out-of-town white saviors post Katrina. At that point Dana also made a public statement about committing to “listening and learning” when she had to scale back the public opening but here we are again? Then most recently bringing cops into the community just fully demonstrates Dana’s violent white entitlement. You can have the most impact by relinquishing the space to the people you colonized it from and directing any future donations to a Black led org in the community.


I have a fricking headache from reading that leftist drivel.

This is probably quite accurate. The “out of town white saviors post Katrina” is dead on in accuracy in regards to the Yankee carpetbagger attitude at that time.

The name “Church of Yoga” itself can be viewed as blasphemy

Don’t have Instagram so can only see two comments. Can someone quote some of the more funny/controversial comments/replies?
