WELCOME TO BODY + SOUL

OUR MISSION

Body + Soul is an annual Black Wellness Weekend hosted and facilitated in Portland OR, by Yin Yoga Space LLC.  Our mission is to support the local Black community by creating fitness and wellness experiences that are accessible, and foster safety in trying new activities. We believe that gathering, connecting and healing in community is a part of our liberation.

 

Our second annual Black Wellness Weekend will span over June 4th-7th of 2026. We are expecting between 150-250 attendees. Activities will include a mix of beginner friendly physical workouts like indoor cycling, beginner strength training, run and walk clubs, boxing, pilates and hot yoga. For balance, activities will also include a mix of more restorative and subtle body practices like breathwork, sound baths, meditation, yin yoga,  forest bathing, group acupuncture and group therapy.

SAVE THE DATES: JUNE 4 - 7 2026
