On February 7, 1926, Carter G. Woodson initiated the first celebration of Negro History Week which led to Black History Month, to extend and deepen the study and scholarship on African American history, all year long.

We gather February 6-8, 2026 for an intimate experience commemorating a century of Black history! We invite all women of color to join in this weekend, giving a moment to reflect on the power of witnessing our shared experiences of not only taking our place at the table, but holding each other as we do.

Through this retreat you will be empowered to transform your mind, body, and soul for collective liberation through movement, self-love, and soul work. Our time together will include accessible yoga (mat and chair), dance, theater and meditation. What is possible when we honor our shared journey for peace and inclusion? What is possible when we rise together to celebrate our divine right for belonging?

In this retreat, you will experience:
- Embodied yoga
- Dance movement
- Opportunities for meditative contemplation
- Joyful community

“Remember the sky that you were born under, know each of the star’s stories. Remember your birth, how your mother struggled to give you form and breath. You are evidence of her life, and her mother’s, and hers. Remember your father. He is your life, also. Remember the earth whose skin you are: red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth brown earth, we are earth. Remember you are all people and all people are you.”—Joy Harjo

Say yes to rest with Lenora!

We are thrilled to announce the addition of Soul Compass Yoga to our online schedule with Lenora Johnson beginning Friday, December 12th at 12:30PM.

Lenora referred to herself as an accidental yogi because she stumbled into her first yoga class at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, hoping for an easy elective. What she found instead was a gift that unlocked her inner rebel. She wanted to push the boundaries of movement (especially as a b***y girl), master the crow pose, and never leave the world of Vinyasa. Life had different plans, and after 2 major rear-end collisions, the body she once knew had changed. She temporarily lost her first love, Vinyasa due to changes in her mobility. The practice of one breath, one movement became her mantra for meditation and recovery. The journey of recovery led her to find her soul compass in Restorative and Yin yoga. Lenora is Yoga Alliance RYT-200 member and licensed clinical social worker who understands the benefits of a calm mind and nervous system. She offers you an opportunity to build a stronger mind-body connection.

ABOUT SOUL COMPASS YOGA

“Things outside you are projections of what’s inside you, and what’s inside you is a projection of what’s outside. So when you step into the labyrinth outside you, at the same time you’re stepping into the labyrinth inside.”—Haruki Murakami

Join yoga teachers Kiesha Battles, Marcia Ramoutar, and Polly Weiss for a transformative weekend of self-discovery, creation, and community as we step into the magic of the labyrinth to discover a path through the maze of today.

As a group, we will explore insights from our global wisdom traditions, myths, and best-loved stories to create a toolkit that can help us navigate the obstacles we face both individually and collectively.

Our time together will include opportunities for:

✨ Story time at twilight
✨ Labyrinth walks at dawn and dusk
✨ Solitary contemplative practice
✨ Joyful movement
✨ Creation and collaboration

Together we’ll go there, and back again. Please join us for this immersive experience.

We are so grateful to have our friend, Reggie Hubbard, joining us for two special offerings on November 29th!

Reggie will be a special guest at SAFE Yoga from 9:30-11AM at the Allegra Westbrooks Library.

He'll also be hosting Sonic Tonic: Holiday Clearance later that afternoon from 1-3PM at The Coterie Wellness Studio.

The holidays bring about a rush of energy and emotions - some joy and celebration, some stress, some sadness. Using the tools of breathwork, light movement, gongs, Tibetan sound bowls and other instruments, we will reset our nervous systems to find peace, grace and space this holiday season.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see the amazing Reggie Hubbard in person at the Coterie Studio in Charlotte, NC!

Spaces are limited so register today and rest and reset for this seasonal period: https://iamyoga.as.me/?appointmentType=85496856

We’re so grateful to share that I Am Yoga has been awarded a $10,000 Empowering Growth grant from M&F Bank.

I Am Yoga began with classes in a church on Beatties Ford Road and has stayed rooted in Charlotte’s West End ever since. Our mission has always been intentional — to create access to health and wellness in communities of color, where opportunities for movement and mindfulness can sometimes be harder to find.

This grant fuels our ability to reach more neighbors, strengthen our team of instructors, and continue sharing yoga where it’s needed most.

Thank you to M&F Bank for believing in small businesses and community-based wellness.

Feel that gentle hum of connection?

That's the power of kula, and it's at the heart of our I Am Yoga Teacher Trainings. Enrollment closes soon for our 200hr and 300hr programs, and we don't want you to miss your chance to step into this supportive, transformative space.

Whether you choose the 200hr YTT to build your strong foundation in the many paths of Yoga, Kemetic Yoga, and subtle body studies, or you opt for the year-long 300hr YTT to dive into Trauma-Informed practices, Āyurveda, and advanced philosophy, you'll be woven into a vibrant tapestry of fellow yogis.

As one graduate said, this journey is a “life changing” experience that fosters collective healing and lifelong bonds.

Don't let this opportunity pass. Find your path and your people today!

With all we are holding in these moments of global ache, we are being called to listen into the tremors and recommit to practices for social healing. We are being called to acknowledge our interdependence and gather the wisdom from generations who tend this earth’s garden. We are being called to witness each other from the inner eye of the heart.

Join yoga teachers Kiesha Battles and Tiffany Curtis in this retreat of weaving spiritual teachings from yogic, Buddhist, and Afro-Indigenous insight to cultivate the altar of your heart.

Through meditation, asana, and story-sharing, all are invited to:
* Embrace the power of vulnerability within Self and community.
* Connect to your body as the wisdom-keeper for collective liberation.
* Reimagine the shape and voice of your heart.

As we journey together through practices of soul remembrance, we will engage asanas of hatha, yin, and restorative yoga as the seals for integrating our shared awakening. We invite you to expand into deeper knowing of your heart’s voice to awaken the paths of liberation needed for our time.
