BIPOC Yoga Series

Name: Create Power Yoga
Price range: $$

Our BIPOC yoga series is designed as a specific space to celebrate diversity and foster unity for folx that identify as black or indigenous people of color (BIPOC). Led by our experienced team of BIPOC teachers, these sessions create a space where people of color can practice yoga as a majority, in a supportive and affirming environment.

Our BIPOC Series classes happen twice a month, offering a chance to connect with a diverse yoga community. In each session, you’ll explore movement, mindfulness, and self-care while building meaningful connections. Whether you're new to yoga or already practicing, these classes are accessible, empowering, and welcoming to all bodies.

Above all, we prioritize representation, inclusivity, and community. So, come experience the power of yoga for BIPOC and feel supported every step of the way.

These classes are held twice a month on Saturdays at 9:30am

First Saturdays - Unheated Yoga Flow
Third Saturdays - Restorative Yoga

First Saturday - Unheated Power Flow

Build sustainable strength, reduce pain, and manage stress. This all levels class is thoughtfully designed to enhance functional strength, improve your stability, and promote overall mobility so that you can move, play, and live better. We'll guide you through a mindful yet potent practice that blends yoga poses with breath to create mindful movement. You'll build stronger stabilizing muscles, increase joint resilience, and improve your balance. Each class integrates purposeful breathwork to fuel your movement and concludes with a deep, supported stretch to aid recovery and leave you feeling grounded and rejuvenated.

Third Saturday - Restorative Yoga

This class is your time of rest. Restorative yoga uses few poses held gently for longer periods of time to help the body relax and the mind to calm and center. Here your body will learn to move from fight-or-flight (sympathetic nervous system) to rest-and-digest (parasympathetic nervous system). All poses are floor based. Props including bolsters and blocks are used to provide your body with complete support, and to help your body relax. The room is dimly lit, and the practice can be quiet or accompanied by light meditation music to create an environment for rest and recovery.

Tiered Pricing

In 2026, we moved our BIPOC series from donation-based to tiered pricing. Tiered pricing allows more members of our community to have access to a quality yoga practice, while also allowing us to reliably fund our BIPOC leadership in teaching and designing the series.

What do we mean by "BIPOC"?

BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. This term is used to refer to anyone who is not white and has been historically marginalized and systematically discriminated against in the United States.

The term BIPOC recognizes that Black and Indigenous individuals have faced unique forms of oppression and erasure, and acknowledges the importance of centering their experiences and perspectives in conversations about racial justice.

When we use the term BIPOC, we are intentionally creating space for voices that have been silenced and elevating the experiences of those who have been systematically oppressed.

Who can go?

Our BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) yoga series classes are a safe and inclusive space for any individual who identifies as BIPOC (see above, "what do you mean by BIPOC?")

What are "co-hosted" classes?

We invite local organizations, businesses and non-profits whose missions align with ours to "co-host" a month of our BIPOC series.

Co-hosts help direct marketing to their audiences through collaborative social posts and including in any newsletters, community boards, and other communications. We also encourage our co-hosts to bring a group for an outing to a BIPOC class during their hosting month (and anytime!).

Co-hosts are a way for us to expand the reach of the series, and any aligned-organization can commit to co-hosting at no cost.
