Yoga Retreat for Women of Color Lean In and Open to Spirit

THE PATH TO HARMONIOUS LIVING

“Caregiving often calls us to lean into love we didn’t know possible.” —Tia Walker

When we lean into our hearts, we open ourselves up to spirit. 

Join other Women of Color in this weekend retreat with Maya Breuer, Kiesha Battles, Leslie Kelson, Candace Jennings, and Keshia Abraham and give yourself permission to let go. Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, dance, rest, stillness, and more, you will:

  • Loosen your grip and lean into the sounds that beat your heart. 
  • Sit in the circle of women, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and friends. 
  • Unfold your day-to-day self and be with your truest, clearest self.    

Return home ready to live your best life.
