Ro Grace (they/he) is a Brooklyn-based artist, organizer and educator. Easily persuaded by the tease of a well-researched tangent and head over heels for healing lineages that have prevailed through and beyond colonization. Guided by the belief that our collective liberation depends on our willingness to be moved, listen deeply, and remember who we are. Experiments in film, sound, and embodied practices are the threads weaving this unfinished (as in, Trans) story together. Also, 13 years as a Yoga and Mindfulness guide helps.

Kripalu trained, E-RYT 500 certified Yoga Teacher based in Brooklyn, NY, they lead 200 & 300 hour teacher trainings in San Francisco and Brooklyn. Creator of Intersectional Yoga Teaching Module within the Trauma Informed Training program at Folk SF. Ro interned in Kripalu School of Yoga in 2014, steeped in deep practice and study while getting to work and learn closely with skilled lineage holders. Returning to Kripalu all these years later feels like full circle lineage magic.  

Committed to disability justice, Ro is an audio describer, colorfully narrating visual elements of live performance for blind and visually impaired community. Their creative projects explore the healing potential of re-associating the dissociated and displaced body-mind through the mediums of film, sound, and body.  

Ro is the impact producer for the award-winning documentary Traces of Home, a story of intergenerational healing. Director, Colette Ghunim reunites her parents with the homes they were forced to leave as children—her mother, who fled domestic violence in Mexico, and her father, who was forcefully removed from his ancestral home in Palestine during the first Nakba.
