Grow With The Flow! is a series of no-cost, yoga classes provided in partnership with neighborhood wellness businesses and organizations.
By bringing yoga directly to Philadelphia neighborhoods, Black Girls With Green Thumbs hopes to increase access and visibility, while championing the benefits of a practice well-suited for those overcoming trauma and everyday stressors of urban life.
Mia leads trauma-informed yoga classes which are better suited to adapt than traditional methods, which focus on the outward appearance rather than inward experience. These adaptations help unregulated nervous systems, emotional well being, and connection of mind and body.
Grow With the Flow! will also integrate breath work, affirmations, and group meditation into each class.
