Join us for a special edition of the Black Women Do… series: Egyptian Yoga, also known as Smai-Tawi. This is a deeply restorative practice rooted in Ancient Egypt, combining unique postures, deep breathing and meditation to support calm, clarity and inner balance. In Ancient Egypt, the symbol Smai-Tawi represented the union of Upper and Lower Egypt. It also speaks to the union of our lower and higher natures—bringing us back into balance, known as Maat. In many ways, it mirrors the meaning of yoga as “to unite”. This session is designed as a soft, grounding experience—whether you’re new to yoga or returning to your mat. Come as you are.
