About this event

Free venue parking

Join Joy Wilkins for a 60-minute community meditation and movement class held on the first Thursday of each month at Texture salon in San Luis Obispo.

In collaboration with R.A.C.E. Matters, this series is a heartfelt invitation to come home to yourself, especially during challenging times—both in the world and within our own lives. It is an honor to hold space for our collective healing and empowerment.

This offering is centered on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, creating a mindful space rooted in breath, meditation, gentle movement, and sound. This class welcomes all levels and all bodies. Participants can use a chair if using mat is not accessible.

Bring your yoga mat, bottle of water and wear layers: comfortable clothing, and a favorite blanket if you typically practice with one. Herbal tea provided for social time after class. Class is priced on a sliding scale and no-one will be turned away due to a lack of funds.

Joy Wilkins is a RYT 200-hour certified teacher with training in Hatha, Yin, Restorative, and Kundalini yoga. Her classes are rooted in embodied practices, incorporating asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra, meditation, and the chakra system to support deep connection and presence.

Space is limited to 9 participants and this class will often have a waitlist. We ask that you contact us as soon as possible if you cannot attend.

This class is supported by a San Luis Obispo County Preventative Health grant.

R.A.C.E. Matters is a community-based organization that creates artistic, cultural, educational, and social experiences that amplify Black voices and matters of racial justice.

R.A.C.E. Matters holds virtual and in-person events throughout the year. In recent years we’ve hosted virtual conversations on topics including the racial dimensions of the COVID- 19 crisis, Critical Race Theory, and forensics and race. Children-focused arm RaiseUp SLO has hosted virtual spaces for both parents of color and anti-racist allies, a forum on the challenges of home schooling during the pandemic, and intimate in-person events intended to connect local children of color.

We also have a strong emphasis on arts and culture, having collaborated with San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, SLO Motion Film, The ReBoot Storytelling Re-Imagined, SLO Museum of Modern Art, Harold J Miossi Gallery at Cuesta College, Downtown SLO Association, the SLO Library, the City of San Luis Obispo, NYU Tisch School of The Arts, IFC Films, and Universal Pictures to bring engaging content to San Luis Obispo and virtual audiences.
