Thursday, March 25 | 2:30 – 3pm

Join Jessica L. Nichols as she presents Black HERstory Yoga, which celebrates Black Girl Magic as inspiration for a Chakra-centered Yoga Practice. The session celebrates the glory, wisdom, art, leadership, and beauty of historical Black women through the practice of yoga! Nichols will connect key historical figures with chakras in the body.
