black women’s wellness

BWSCR project’s focus is the repair of Black women’s health and well-being with the goal of supporting Black women to move towards their thriving lives. We start with the understanding that there is a debt owed to Black women for centuries of unpaid labor – physical, emotional, spiritual – that has come at the expense of our lives, time, energy, health, and well-being. We believe it is time to start repaying that debt.

This workshop for Black women, offered seasonally, synthesizes Yamuna Body Rolling, Pilates and a variety of dance-based movement techniques. The class integrates music and focuses on whole body, three dimensional movement. We move breath, muscles and the whole body as we explore the healing medicine of movement. Workshops typically include Yamuna breath and release work, Pilates exercises and movement to move us toward increasingly complex whole body movement. The goal of these classes is to cultivate awareness, love and the power of our moving bodies.
