Class Description
During times of unrest and protest that are happening outside of ourselves, it is important to take time to center the mind and body. This practice focused on restoring balance as we focused on use of the breath and moved through the physical practice of yoga. The class consisted of mantras, salutations of the sun or moon, asanas, and ended with journaling or meditation. This class was created as a safe space specifically for black women.
