Healing The Hood Together

A small but meaningful shift 🤍

For a while now, I’ve kept the door open to messages coming in from an older email, and I’ve been grateful to receive every one. But moving forward, I’m gathering it all into one place so nothing gets lost and everything gets the care it deserves.

As of today, you can reach us at [email protected] 🤍

Meet Arlinda! She is a trauma-informed yoga teacher, Yoga Nidra guide, postpartum doula, and founder of Arlinda’s Asanas in Philadelphia, PA. With over 20 years of personal practice and more than a decade of experience working with children and families, she creates intentional yoga experiences rooted in healing, accessibility, mindfulness, and community connection. Specializing in Yinyasa, beginners yoga, kids yoga, and nervous system support, Arlinda’s mission is to help students reconnect with themselves both on and off the mat.

We are thrilled to welcome Arlinda to the Healing the Hood Together family, where she will be leading some of our upcoming classes. And if you’re bringing your little ones, keep an eye out…when Arlinda guides the children, she goes by the beloved Princess Bubblegum 🫧👑

We are GLOWING from our opening class Flow at Bartram’s Garden with Zeena!

She led us through the most grounding, soul-nourishing flow…slow, intentional movement that had us releasing tension, dropping into our bodies, and breathing like we actually meant it.

The kind of class that reminds you why you started in the first place.

Now we’re calling in sunshine and warm breezes for our next session because this community DESERVES to flow under the open sky. ☀️

Bartram’s Garden + good weather + good people = pure magic. Manifest it with us!

A huge thank you to our amazing juice vendor for keeping us refreshed and nourished - you were the perfect complement to the vibe 🫶🏽

Bring your mat, your water, and your whole self. Thurs, May 21 · 6–7:30pm

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we’re not just acknowledging it, we’re moving through it. 💜

Stress lives in your body. Trauma lives in your body. And so does your healing.

This month, we’re sharing what we know to be true: breathwork calms your nervous system, movement supports your mood, and community is medicine.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Healing the Hood Together exists because your neighborhood deserves access to tools that actually help 🫶🏽

👉🏽 Swipe through and then take a step toward your healing. Join a free class or come find us at Bartram’s Garden this summer.

Move. Breathe. Heal. Together. 🌿💜🤍
