The first time a friend invited me to try Acro-Yoga on the beach with Fitness Career, I was thrilled. My yoga practice had become more consistent since arriving in Lagos, and I was eager to join professionals and fellow enthusiasts in person instead of relying on online apps or enduring my family’s watchful eyes.
The session was genuinely remarkable. Under their guidance, I achieved my first wall-free headstand. However, what truly resonated with me was discovering that Fitness Career was not just about yoga. They were also actively involved in social initiatives, such as Naija Girls Surf, a surf camp for young girls at Tarkwa Bay (a tourist spot and community off the shores of Lagos), and serve as an NGO representative for Black Girls Surf.
During one of Fitness Career’s Beach Yoga and Camping weekends, I had the pleasure of speaking with co-founder Rachel Omolola White. Rachel began her journey as a yoga instructor in 2016, and has accumulated five years of certified teaching experience. Her dedication to surfing led her to become a certified surf coach and the visionary behind Naija Girls Surf.
