This is a gentle zoom yoga class for BIPOC adoptees only (18 years old+) followed by 1 hour of meeting/greeting and discussion. The intention of this class is to continue to grow support for the adoption community and provide a safe space for adoptees to share their unique stories and experiences. The class will incorporate meditation, breath work and gentle yoga postures. Beginners are welcome!

*The name BIPOC Adoptee Yoga Circle was chosen with care and deep respect. The word circle is inspired by many Indigenous cultures — including Native American traditions — where circles are sacred spaces for healing, connection, and storytelling. In these spaces, there is no hierarchy: everyone is seen, valued, and heard.

While this is not an Indigenous ceremony or a replication of any specific cultural practice, I use the word circle with humility and gratitude. It reflects the values I bring to this offering: mutual respect, safety, belonging, and healing in community — especially for those impacted by displacement, loss, or identity erasure through adoption.

This space is grounded in my lived experience as a BIPOC adoptee, and informed by trauma-informed yoga, sensory integration, and social-emotional care. It is also held with awareness of the land we gather on, and the Indigenous peoples who have long known the power of coming together in circle.
