Join us in a collective breath in community with people of the global majority. BIPOC Community Breath: A restorative meditative practice crafted for fostering connection, building resilience and inner peace. Experience the transformative power of mindfulness and community every Monday in April at 7:15 PM. This series is sanctuary space for self-identified Black, Indigenous and People of Color.
This session is designed to create a supportive and tranquil space for individuals within the BIPOC community, fostering healing, reflection, and a sense of inner peace. The meditation will incorporate cognitive behavioral health and mindfulness practices, along with guided techniques, providing participants with an opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation. My goal is to offer a safe and welcoming environment where everyone can connect with themselves and with other people of the global majority to experience the profound benefits of restorative asana, guided meditation, pranayama, chanting om, sound healing, and optional essential oil therapy. All supplies will be provided with the assistance of the studio and props. This accessible practice will provide light movement, restorative asana, and opportunities for modifications appropriate for all levels.
Jose Entrekin (He/She/They) is a passionate yoga instructor based in Oakland, and raised in San Diego, CA, dedicated to creating an inclusive and empowering yoga experience for individuals of all genders and backgrounds. With a foundation in Hatha-based training, Jose weaves together yogic history, philosophy, and practical elements such as body mechanics and alignment. Their classes extend beyond the physical, incorporating breathing techniques and meditation to cater to a diverse range of practitioners. As a Yoga Alliance 500 RYT, Jose brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the mat. Since 2019, they have been guiding various classes, including Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, Restorative, Yin, and Tone & Sculpt. Their commitment to making yoga accessible is reflected in their work with MiraCosta College, UC Berkeley, and contributions to the Wounded Warriors Project/Operation Homefront, Immigrants Rising, and many other community organizations. Rooted in the belief that yoga should honor its cultural origins and connect practitioners to the earth, Jose's teaching philosophy emphasizes both physical and spiritual well-being while also working to decolonize his/her/their practice, with a special focus on creating a safe and affirming space for women, people of the global majority, and the Queer and Trans community.

Sliding scale workshop
We offer tiered, class-equitable, pay-what-supports-you pricing.
We believe that pricing can and should be a joyful act of service that creates stronger communities. Our model is inspired by the Green Bottle Model from Worts + Cunning.
We also want to help create a conscious, intentional and value-aligned culture of payment.
Please read the following criteria and determine which price is appropriate for you:
Highest price: You have access to financial security, own property, or have personal savings; if you are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worrying about securing necessities in your life; if you have economic privilege and power in our community, this price is for you.
Middle price: You may be paying off debt or working to build savings, but you also have access to steady income. You do NOT struggle to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc.
You might have to cut back on some discretionary spending in your life (such as going out to dinner, buying coffee, buying a new outfit, or going on vacation), but the sacrifice is short-term, and will not harm you in the long term.
Lowest price: You have access to basic needs such as food, housing, and childcare, though sometimes it may feel difficult. You are able to save money/month each week to be able to pay for these sessions.
Reflecting honestly about your financial situation and paying at a level you can afford helps us to grow a healthy and sustainable community. It also respects the work of a Black-led organization & predominantly Black, Brown, & LGTBTQ workers.
Because only you know your financial situation, we leave the choice of what to pay entirely up to you. We trust that you know your finances best and know what is appropriate. The guidelines are there as just that--a structure to help you see where you fit.
Passes are non-transferable and can't be shared.
