BREAKING FREE: Men of Color Healing Circles
Breaking Free: A Healing Group for Black Men was created to address the absence of safe spaces that exist for men of color.
The model is designed around indigenous rituals and focuses upon clinically guided discussions centering on the participant’s experiences, thoughts, feelings, and stressors. This session will include Qigong, a centuries-old system of coordinated body postures and movements, diaphragmatic breathing, and guided meditation which has been shown to reduce stress, create calmness, and cultivate a present mindset.

The practice of Kemetic Yoga draws heavily from the spiritual and mythological traditions of ancient Egypt, including the concept of Ma'at, which represents balance, harmony, and order in the universe. Practitioners of Kemetic Yoga also incorporate principles of the Neteru, the deities, and spiritual forces that were worshipped in ancient Egypt, as well as principles of Kemetic philosophy, which emphasize the interconnectedness of all things.
Kemetic Yoga is a slow-paced strain-free practice accessible to lots of different body types. Its sequences are a series of geometrically progressive postures that align the spine, increase blood flow, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system to promote healing.
What sets Kemetic Yoga apart is its emphasis on nasal breathing and the Four Part Breathing method, which involves inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding again while connecting the tongue to the roof of the mouth. Through this practice, practitioners can increase their internal life force energy and cerebral spinal fluid, as well as relieve stress and correct defects in the skeletal muscular system.
Overall, Kemetic Yoga offers a powerful and transformative practice that is deeply rooted in ancient spiritual traditions.
This session is designed for all levels of yoga practitioners and instructors.
