I AM YOGA, Charlotte, NC (2025)

11/04/2025

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.

“Women of Color is not a biological designation. It is a solidarity definition. A commitment to work in collaboration with other oppressed women of color who have been minoritized. It is a term that has a lot of power.”—Loretta J. Ross

Join Maya Breuer, Kiesha Battles, and Sation Konchellah October 24th-26th at Kripalu and be reminded of the power of our solidarity.

Through the practices of yoga, mindfulness, Indigenous rituals, music, dance, poetry, healing circles, meditation, and restoration, you will be stewarded by people of color as you:
🖤 Gather, support, unite, and experience collective joy.
🤎 Share cultures, histories/herstories, and spiritual practices.
💛 Embrace what it means to be a woman of color (women whose bodies color the spectrum of yellow, brown, and black).

Bring your mother, aunt, sister, friend, or any woman who is open to embracing the definition.
