Wellness

It is more important than ever to take care of one’s mind and body. Wellness resources can often be inaccessible for a variety of reasons, with cost being the largest barrier. The YWCA Berkeley/Oakland serves as a free, third space for community members to attend workshops to move, breathe, destress, and ground themselves in the love of our community. Workshops will include offerings such as dance classes, yoga, breath work, meditation, sound healing, somatic healing, etc.
