RELIVE THE 2024 SEASON

A summer of soul hydration.

Soul Salutations is a multi-week outdoor yoga and mindfulness series that promotes community health, encourages healthy lifelong habits, and helps reduce the economic burden of mental health and chronic diseases.

East of the River, On purpose

Wellness. Mindfulness. Enjoyment

This bold initiative aims to provide distinctive and culturally inclusive weekly wellness experiences to historically underserved communities. Held in the heart of Washington, D.C.'s east side at the remarkable Anacostia Park, this outdoor yoga sunset series transcends the traditional studio yoga experience.

It serves as a celebration of wellness, mindfulness, enjoyment and a vibrant sense of community east of the river.

Soul Salutations addresses the gaps in equitable and accessible wellness and exercise programming in Wards 7 and 8. Existing solutions have fallen short of meeting the unique needs of communities of color, resulting in unaddressed intergenerational health concerns. We are a targeted initiative that comprehensively addresses the holistic well-being of residents and friends of these wards.
