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
