Johnson said normally when he goes to a class, he doesn’t see many people that look like him, and he wants to see more African American people doing hot yoga.
He wants to open a studio in Atlanta and encourage his friends and members of the community to go. He hopes to one day have a chain of studios across the South and eventually in cities such as New York and Miami.
He also said he may not return to the Big3 in order to continue pursuing this dream.
“The Big3 asked me a few weeks ago was I going to come back and play,” Johnson explained. “And I told them I wasn’t sure because I had other things going on. I have dove so deep into hot yoga. Me and my team, we got a plan as far as hot yoga studios to open up some studios and try to get some of my (African American) people in there.”
