Yoga and Meditation

  • Sit With It is a three-part series created for Black and BIPOC women who identify as neurodivergent, ADHD, or living with anxiety and sensory overwhelm — and want to feel more grounded in their bodies by developing a yoga and meditation practice of their own.

    Each session centers body, breath, and mind through gentle movement and meditation. No pressure. No perfection. Just space to slow down, soften, and start where you are. This series invites you to sit with your experiences — not fix or force them — and find presence at your own pace.

    Visit the Events page to join the next series.
