As much as yoga has historically and contemporarily been weaponized, it also carries liberatory potential and can be purposed toward the collective healing of our most oppressed communities.

Systemic violence and structural oppression threaten personal and community well-being.

Contemplative practices, like yoga and mindfulness, offer us space to center our well-being.

​

This is where healing justice enters. By teaching us to live in alignment with the one another and Mother Earth, embodied traditions like yoga, offer us a blueprint for social justice. 

​

I curate healing justice programs and workshops for youth groups, organizations, and studios that want to bring a critical and decolonizing approach to their use of yoga and spirituality for collective healing. 

​

1. Decolonizing Yoga:

   • An adaptable 1 (or 2) day workshop for studios, trainings (min 3 hrs.)

2. Healing Justice:

   • A framework and workshop series that uses a "radical healing"/"healing justice" approach to develop programs for youth groups, collectives, and organizations​ (approx. 4-12 weeks)

​​

Previous examples of "healing justice" programs that I have curated include:​

​

• "Free Mumia, Free Your Mind, Free Them All": A 4-month yoga series that sought to bring new activists into the campaign to free political prisoners while sharing skillful meditation and yoga techniques, and humanize long-time political prisoner Mumia​

• "Yogini Sistahs for Liberation": A 2-day workshop for queer folx, womyn and PoC youth to learn about yoga and the chakra healing system through an Indigenous African- and South Asian-centered lens. 

• "Meditations with Malcolm":  a 6-week healing series that uses embodied healing and Malcolm X speeches to advance the struggle for Black liberation
