Stretch & Create: A Morning of Movement, Art & Connection

My journey began a little over three years ago when I lost my mother. She had a stroke in 2017. Losing my mother made me realize I was wasting my life. I didn't know myself or what my purpose in life was. I had to reevaluate how I lived, my health, and how I spent my time and energy. My mother's passing made me realize that my community lacks self-care education. There is no real place for us to heal, be heard, practice self-awareness and accountability, or focus on mental health. I realized that stress killed my mother; I started to focus on my health more because I suffer from high blood pressure. I had been hospitalized many times, making me feel like I was following in my mother's footsteps.

Yoga has become a resource for me to heal a lot of my trauma. It is a gateway for me to connect with my mind, body, and spirit. My spiritual journey has led me to meet beautiful people who have helped guide me along my healing journey. Now, I want to help you on your journey of healing and connecting with yourself.
