healing empowerment liberation
Cultivating holistic health practices for self-identified People of Color for liberation & empowerment.
Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Yoga POC Sangha is a grassroots organization invested in the healing, empowerment and liberation of Black, Indigenous, ChicanX/LatinX, Asian/API, Desi, and all people of color by providing intersectional, relational, and accessible, trauma informed, healing spaces, and health and wellness practices. Yoga POC Sangha is politically invested in the spiritual, physical, mental and emotional healing of past, present, and ancestral colonial and imperial violence such as white supreamacy, racism, capitalist exploitation, casteism, gendered violence, heterosexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, sexual violence, agesim, and ableism. We collaboratively organize intentional, safe and life-affirming gatherings that are especially informed by people of color practitioners of yoga and meditation to tend to preventative and coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and recovery. We also have workshops focused on aromatherapy, energy balancing, movement, and breath; nutrition, sustainable food, farming, gardening and recycling; and critical literacy building and learning of diverse philosophies informed by radical intellectuals of color. Overall, our social justice mission is to empower and liberate people of color by providing accessible healing spaces, and health and wellness practices.
to you.
my people. of color.
you are an altar of stars.
remember this.
always.
do not ever forget this
