About this event

Join Soul House Wellness & Breathing Room Yoga for a yoga class curated FOR and BY people of color.

This hour is intended to be a safe space for mind, body and spirit relaxation while giving people of color the chance to reclaim an ancient practice that originated in their own cultures.

Expect a gentle hatha flow, offering modifications to suit your individual practice and skill level, followed by a grounding sound bath.

WHY THIS SPACE EXISTS

Wellness spaces often speak about healing, regulation and rest- but many of those spaces were not designed with people of color in mind.

For many of us, moving through daily life can mean navigating environments that required constant awareness, adaptation and resilience. over time, that takes a toll on the body and nervous system.

Return was created to offer a space where black and brown folks can practice rest without needing to explain themselves and navigate micro-aggressions.

This is a place to slow down. To breathe. To reconnect with the body in a way that feels supportive and sustainable.

Rest is not a luxury. It is a part of our collective well-being.
