Yoga Retreat for Women of Color I Love Myself When I Am Laughing

For women of all colors. Scholarship eligible.

Take a remarkable journey that integrates spirit, soulfulness, and sisterhood with yoga, meditation, movement, breath, and play. This Yoga Retreat for Women of Color™ calls upon Zora Neal Hurston, Natalie Diaz, Toni Morrison, Marilyn Chin, bell hooks, Maya Angelou, Isabelle Allende, and others to connect and recharge us with their words of wisdom.

The retreat is inspired by the Zora Neal Hurston quote, “I love myself when I am laughing and then again when I am looking mean and impressive,” which is also the title of a collection of her work edited by Alice Walker. This program includes

  • Yoga and meditation
  • Caribbean soca rhythms (known as “the soul of calypso”) and Afro-Caribbean dance
  • Maya Breuer’s YogaLife Practice for Well-Being®.

Walk and talk your truth in a community of women, and return home full of laughter and inspiration.
