Hip-Hop Yoga originated in South Jamaica, Queens as a way to connect a community to the age-old relaxation method. By using popular music, instructors are able to increase participation, particularly among at-risk kids. The result is a cool and contemporary practice that puts participants in touch with their mind and body. Variations have since popped up in cities across the country, including Black Light Hip-Hop Yoga in at Back Bay Yoga Studio in Boston.
