No one turned away for lack of funds
This time of year can be a lot! In this workshop we’ll practice a blend of restorative yoga, gentle movement, breathwork, and guided meditation techniques combined in such a way that makes it an excellent choice for those who need something gentle to ground and recenter. It is a particularly good practice for those recovering from or living with injury or illness. Sandwiched between potentially stressful holidays and end-of-year projects, come give yourself the gift of deep release.
All levels welcome. If you have particular questions or concerns, please email us at brownsugaryoganyc@gmail.com.
Calia Marshall is a yoga instructor, dancer, musician, and workshop facilitator, as well as being a dance instructor/choreographer and Equity Advocate at National Dance Institute. Her first of many yoga certifications was received in 2002 and she has been teaching movement and healing practices to children and adults for even longer. Calia strives to honor the roots of yoga, while making it relevant and accessible for the people she is sharing it with. She founded Brown Sugar: Yoga for Folks of Color in 2014.
Brown Sugar is a yoga and mindfulness practice for people of color, as well as a
community in NYC. We intend to provide a healing and empowering affinity space for people of color, recognizing that often when Black, Brown and Indigenous people show up to yoga in the US we may be the only one, or one of just a few – or we may not show up at all. Brown Sugar is a space for people of color, because the racism that exists in our society also shows up in yoga spaces, and can be yet another source of stress and (re) traumatization. We aim to provide a warm, nurturing yoga class and community that centers on people of color.
