Brown Girls Heal is a space for Black women to access the information necessary for healing—and to practice it in community.

​

In recent years, the words trauma and triggers have become widely used, particularly in the wake of the global pandemic. Yet, for many, there remains a gap between knowing that trauma is present and understanding how to actually work with it.

​

You may already have an awareness of how your past has impacted your present. You may feel stuck—knowing something needs to change but unsure how to begin releasing the past and cultivating a more hopeful, grounded future.

​

Trauma-informed yoga offers one path forward. This practice is not rooted in forced positivity or spiritual bypassing. It is centered around understanding the body’s physiological response to trauma—specifically the symptoms of PTSD and chronic stress—and using movement, breath, and nervous system regulation to create safety and connection from within.

​

Each session begins with a short educational conversation to provide background on the tools being offered. From there, we transition into embodied practice, using yoga as a vehicle for awareness, release, and integration.

​

Brown Girls Heal is designed to work in tandem with traditional mental health support, such as talk therapy or clinical counseling. However, if you are currently in a season where therapy is not accessible, this space still stands as a supportive tool. It can help you build awareness of your relationship with your body and the emotional experiences it may still be carrying.

​

All levels are welcome. No prior yoga experience is necessary. You are invited to come exactly as you are—there is more than enough space for you here.
