Growing Light with Restorative Yoga for Ancestor Healing

One Yoga Jubilee’s Core Values is Embodiment.  We acknowledge that trauma lives in our bodies - passed through generations - and requires embodied practices to fully heal. Our Ancestral Healing practices create a space for practitioners to offer to and receive healing from the Ancestors.

Monday, June 19th, 2023

Led by: Riley Skye

Join Riley Skye in this special Ancestral Healing class that will allow us to connect with and heal the traumas of our enslaved and enslaving Ancestors.

*What is a “Pay it Forward” / “Pay What You Can” based class?

These terms simply mean that you are invited to come, regardless of your ability to pay or how much you can pay. We ask that you do donate if and when you can, about the same amount you might pay for a class at a studio in your local area. No amount is too little, and if you can pay more, you will be helping those who cannot pay have access. “Pay it forward” is another way to reciprocate, meaning that when you have time, skill, or funds that will help another human or an organization doing work you support, you can donate to them when you have that to offer. 

Any amount and any way is appreciated. It keeps the “lights on” at YJ and allows us to continue to offer classes in this way.
