Maine Afro Yoga Project

 The Maine Afro Yoga Project is a community-centered program dedicated to promoting mental health, emotional well-being, and resilience through trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness practices. Rooted in Afro Yoga traditions and led by our BIPOC community, we intentionally center BIPOC teachers to address systemic inequities in leadership and influence. 

The project strives to create an inclusive, supportive, and healing environment where individuals, especially immigrants and people of color, can recover from trauma, build resilience, and achieve mental and emotional well-being.  

• Community Yoga Classes: Donation-based sessions at our South Portland studio, welcoming all bodies with positive vibes. Free mats and props are available.
• Outreach Programs: Partnering with organizations, schools, and corporate groups to offer trauma-informed yoga at accessible locations, with proceeds supporting vulnerable populations.
• Nature Immersion Activities: Combining yoga with hiking, swimming, forest bathing, kayaking, and camping to foster well-being and connection with nature.
• Workshops: Empowering sessions like "Active Bystander Training," "Empowerment Self-Defense," and "Parenting in a New Country."
