Student reflections -February 2023
" My first yoga experience with Amani Yoga as a Black woman was unforgettable. Maria creates a secure and supportive environment that allows me to connect with my body, spirit, and mind. A sacred space to decrease racial stress, practice self-care, and foster a sense of community and sisterhood. I am incredibly grateful to Maria Osman for providing this opportunity to Sisters Healing Space, and I eagerly anticipate future sessions"
AMANI Yoga came out of a desire to create an culturally
inclusive yoga space for BI+WOC to feel safe and have a sense of
belonging and experience how yoga can contribute to healing and
well-being.
This offering includes
- A restorative yoga practice- providing deep rest, a practice which you can take away and practice daily (all postures are accessible to all bodies and all levels of experience, especially beginners)
- An exploration of how racial stress impacts our body’s nervous system and how yoga can relax the nervous system in a safe nurturing setting
- Yoga Nidra for rest, clarity and direction
- Takeaway self care tools
