senior political strategist, certified yoga and meditation teacher, and influential changemaker
Reggie Hubbard is a senior political strategist, certified yoga and meditation teacher, and influential changemaker who is paving the way toward a more conscious world by sharing techniques that cultivate peace and ease as a foundation, rather than an afterthought, with Members of Congress, congressional staff, major labor unions, educational institutions, progressive organizations, and individuals from all walks of life.
His mission is to help activists find balance while inspiring the wellness community to become more engaged, socially conscious citizens. He believes that when inner peace aligns with civic responsibility, it creates the foundation for meaningful, transformative change.
Reggie is a trailblazer with a wealth of experience in senior strategic and logistical roles across global marketing, digital and community organizing, government relations, international education, and presidential campaigning. He earned his B.A. in philosophy from Yale University and holds an M.B.A. in international strategy from the Vlerick Business School in Belgium. His professional journey led him to seek tools for resilience and balance, beginning his yoga practice in November 2014 as a way to navigate and alchemize extreme professional adversity. Through disciplined practice, unwavering focus, and a commitment to inner peace, he embraced the yogic path.
Now a certified yoga and meditation teacher, he has studied extensively with renowned teachers such as Faith Hunter, Amy Ippoliti, Yogarupa Rod Stryker, Sri Dharma Mittra, Roshi Joan Halifax, Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach and many other inspiring mentors he’s encountered along the way. Reggie is the founder/chief serving officer of Active Peace Yoga, a practice whose mission is to make the practice of yoga and living the yogic lifestyle accessible to all, regardless of race, gender, body type or practice level. The practice also has Prince and Jimi Hendrix as cultural/spiritual influences - unapologetic black male creatives who inspired change, love and togetherness through their art. Whether through asana, breathwork, meditation, lectures, workshops, or conscious conversations rooted in radical presence, honesty, and compassion, his goal is to create a space for individual healing and collective transformation. He is a healer, sonic artist and wisdom steward. His contemplative practices have been the foundation of his healing journey of stroke recovery, demonstrating the deepest level of practice in his life thus far as he has built back from this injury.
He also advises yoga and meditation communities, studios, teachers, and the broader wellness industry on the importance of diversity and inclusion, helping to make the practice accessible to all by eliminating exclusionary cultures and habits. His teaching style is designed for all levels and lifestyles, with the only requirement being an open mind.
Reggie is deeply committed to giving back to the community through Active Peace, regularly supporting impactful organizations such as the The BRO Experience, Food Education Fund, Black Boys Om, Juxtaposition Arts Center, and The Food Group. He is a featured speaker/thought leader on political strategy, new consciousness, wellbeing, social justice, and civic engagement for leading publications, podcasts and platforms including: Be Here Now Network, Kripalu, Mind and Life Institute, Omega Institute, SoundsTrue Foundation, Upaya Zen Center, Wanderlust, The Wellbeing Project, Yoga Alliance, and Yoga Journal.
Reggie currently resides in Maryland.
