Radical Rest for BIPOC

Radical Rest is a monthly pop-up held every 4th Friday of the month. This is a trauma-informed Restorative Yoga offering that welcomes soul nourishment to BIPOC / People of the Global Majority.  You can expect breathing practices, gentle movement, and Restorative postures with props. This will be an invitation towards the sacredness of co-regulating with the community as we deepen our liberation movements.

Join us for Radical Rest for BIPOC every last Friday of the month! This trauma-informed offering will include Restorative Yoga, meditation, and community connection.
We invite self-identified BIPOC (Black Indigenous and People of Color) and People of the Global Majority into this class. We ask white allies to respect the need for affinity space and donate if they would like to be in solidarity with radical rest for people of color.

Meet the instructor:

Azhar Khanmohamed is a 1st generation Pakistani organizer with roots in California, Georgia, and Texas. They have been practicing yoga for ~10 years, and started teaching 2 years ago at the Tree Yoga Co-op, a BIPOC focused yoga studio in South Central LA. In addition to their yoga practice, Azhar has worked as a farmer, community organizer, and educator across a variety of food sovereignty, housing justice, and climate justice projects across the country. They are currently building Huitlaco, a regenerative mushroom and compost farm in Richmond, CA. When holding space as a yoga teacher, they emphasize student autonomy, the mind-body-breath connection, and holding space for healing within the violent context of racial capitalism.
