Mental & Emotional Wellbeing Courses

"Practices that bridge the nervous system, emotional intelligence, and inner safety."

Welcome to a different kind of healing space. At Sankofa Yoga, we believe wellness is more than physical—it’s emotional, mental, and deeply energetic. Our emotional wellness courses are designed to help you slow down, tune in, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that often get left behind.

Whether you're navigating stress, unlearning old patterns, or simply seeking a space to breathe and be, these offerings meet you where you are—with compassion and care. Through somatic movement, breathwork, trauma-informed practices, and self-reflection, you’ll begin to restore balance, release what no longer serves you, and reclaim your inner peace.

These aren’t just classes—they’re healing journeys. And you don’t have to take them alone.

Let Sankofa be your sanctuary as you begin again.

Waiting to Exhale: A Women's Series on Love
Fridays | October 2 - 30, 2026
6:15 pm - 7:30 pm | On Campus

Inspired by the spirit of sisterhood that defined a generation, Waiting to Exhale is a five-week journey for women rediscovering themselves in love and in life. A space to talk about connection, pleasure, exhaustion, freedom, and everything in between. It’s where laughter meets healing, where truth feels safe, and where being seen feels like exhaling.

 

Each week, we gather in sisterhood to remember that we are still worthy of joy, still capable of desire, and still allowed to change.

 

This isn’t therapy, it’s release. It’s sisterhood. It’s the reminder that you can rebuild your rhythm, your confidence, and your peace, together.

 

Course is led by Dr. LaShaunna Lipscomb, Ph.D.

Investment: This course is included with Sankofa memberships and class passes.
