Amirah Kinlaw and Cinelle Barnes invite BIPOC women for a sunset yoga and narrative practice on August 8 (new date) — summer solstice. The event will take place at Sullivan’s Island, Station 29, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

About Amirah’s yoga practice:

My name is Amirah Kinlaw (she/her) and I am pleased to be your yoga instructor. I am a warm, spirited Black woman. I live in Charleston, SC, on Kusso land, with my partner of 11 years and our two energetic teens, ages 16 and 14. I initially found yoga to be a relaxing stretch exercise to do post-workout, but over time, my connection with the practice became deeper. My yoga now is designed to encompass all parts of me. It is an embodied experience. I have been practicing for over four years and recently became a yoga instructor in April 2020. I love connecting with women of color because we actually see one another as whole beings. Each of us holds our own unique story which portrays our power, our resilience, our passion, and our own frequency. When our frequencies connect, our vibration is higher. My intention for the Summer Solstice Workshop for BIPOC women will be to restore and refresh our bodies, minds, and souls, so that we can show up for ourselves and for each other.

About Cinelle’s narrative workshop:

Cinelle is a Philippine-born and -raised writer, editor, and educator. She is the author of two nonfiction books and the editor of a New York Times New & Noteworthy anthology of essays written by BIPOC writers. Drawing from narrative therapy philosophy, memoir, and breath work, Cinelle will guide the group in a regenerative, joyful writing exercise that women of color can incorporate into their daily rituals, writing craft, or yoga practices. This workshop is an evolution of Poses & Prose, Cinelle’s sold-out series with Charleston Community Yoga.
