Sacred Roots Community Circle
for Black women & Women of Color
A sacred space for black women and women of color to Gather, Rest & Breathe.
OUR why
A sanctuary- built for us
Essential Wellness Studio by YaYa Power Yoga was born from a deeply personal truth: Black women and people of color have always been told to push harder, rest less, and ask for nothing.
Ayana “YaYa” Joseph — an international holistic practitioner, embodied R.E.S.T facilitator, and womens' reproductive rights advocate — created this space as a radical act of love - both for herself and others.
Rooted in ancestral guidance, and grounded in the body, Essential Wellness invites BIPOC and women to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember that restoration is not a luxury — it is liberation.
Here...
Your way of R.E.S.T is powerful.
Your softness is welcomed.
Your presence is enough.
