Ubuntu Movement Class - March 10, 2025

The Ubuntu Movement Class is an empowering and culturally rich experience that integrates the principles of mindfulness, movement, and community connection. Rooted in the philosophy of "Ubuntu," which means "I am because we are," the class celebrates interconnectedness, shared humanity, and the spirit of unity.

What to Expect: Enjoy a vibrant mix of dance, body movement, and stretches that get your heart rate up, engage your muscles, and leave you sweating with joy. This fun-filled class combines energetic rhythms, mindful moments, and a welcoming community atmosphere, ensuring a workout that strengthens your body, uplifts your spirit, and connects you with others.

This class is open to everyone and rooted in Afro Yoga practices and led by our BIPOC community. It creates a space that intentionally centers BIPOC teachers as leaders. This approach addresses systemic inequities where leadership and influence have historically been disproportionately distributed.

    We ask you to consider: What is the right amount for you? What are your financial means? Can you offer more so another person can join offerings in the Conscious Leadership Community? The majority of the program fee goes to paying facilitators to compensate for their contributions. Excess funds, if any, support making our future programs and events accessible to all those who would like to attend regardless of their ability to pay.

    We do not want anyone to be turned away due to lack of resources and we intend for our offerings to be accessible to all leaders. We are also committed to fostering a community that is diverse and balanced. Need-based scholarships are typically reserved for BIPOC, LGBTQ+ folks and applicants from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

    We do our best to find agreeable solutions for all, and though we cannot accommodate every request, we will always do our best, so please let us know what you may need.
