Nostalgic to bring the best of both worlds together! What a privilege to warm up the next generation of young girls in basketball with yoga before they hit the court 🏀🧘♀️✨ As a little girl, I remember playing in girls’ basketball tournaments at the former Bulls facility. #FullCircle
Friends who inspire, support, motivate, and love you are truly priceless. I’m beyond grateful to walk this mission alongside my beautiful friends and community.
Our community showed up in such a powerful way and helped make the first ever Latina Sweat Project Gala a dream come true. Through collective support and shared connections we turned intention into reality.
The vision is clear: to continue making yoga accessible and inclusive for underserved communities. 🤍
