What we do

Decolonizing Wellness: Trauma-Informed, Healing-Centered Yoga, Workshops, Programming, and Community for all for Black, Indigenous, and racialized youth, women, femmes, and non-binary individuals.

Our why

In the face of patriarchy, sexism, and misogyny, we recognize the need for sacred spaces that acknowledge and confront these oppressive systems head-on. The Red Ma’at Collective is precisely that—a healing space for those who have shouldered the burdens of these intersecting oppressions. We aim to foster an environment where Black, Indigenous, and racialized women, femmes, and non-binary individuals can find support, validation, and empowerment.

Here, we come together as a collective force to honour and amplify our voices. We reclaim our breath as a profound tool of resistance—a tangible expression of our strength and resilience. Through intentional breathing, we transcend the limitations imposed upon us and embark on a transformative journey towards liberation and empowerment.

The Red Ma’at Collective stands as a testament to our shared commitment to healing, growth, and social change. Together, we cultivate a collective spirit that nourishes our minds, bodies, and souls. As we reclaim our breath, we reclaim our power. As we amplify our voices, we amplify our impact. And as we embark on this collective journey, we forge pathways of liberation and empowerment for ourselves and future generations.

Our mission is to heal, inspire, and empower Black, Indigenous, marginalized women and gender expansive folks of colour through yoga, wellness, and community.

Our vision is to facilitate healing and empowerment using inspirational spaces that provide consistent, reliable, high-quality programming and services in the community.
