Come As You Are. Leave Transformed.

Welcome. You’ve arrived at the intersections of a spiritual guide, mother and seeker of truth, wisdom and freedom.

You feel drawn to yoga, but seek trauma-informed, safer, and more inclusive healing spaces

You enjoy the physical practice of yoga, but want to get away from the yoga for fitness workout culture

You are not afraid to link the politics of identity with spirituality, and you seek communities and spaces where these conversations can be expressed

You long for genuine belonging, and you wish to deepen into the subtler dimensions of yoga 

And you crave an authentic and accessible guide who can disrupt the spiritual bypass culture in a way that is revelatory and challenging, yet warm and nourishing at the same time

Hi! I’m Wambui Njuguna

I’m a trauma-informed yoga & meditation teacher, massage therapist and ancestral diviner/healer. While Ashtanga Yoga has been my root lineage since 2008, I’ve expanded my skill set to offer softer, gentler sessions that are rooted in trauma-informed care. The six main pillars of this healing paradigm are:

  • Safety

  • Trust

  • Choice

  • Collaboration

  • Empowerment

  • Cultural Humility & Competence

It’s truly possible, and entirely essential, that all of who we are can receive radical care in our healing spaces. Love is a political decision and I choose you, beloved.

Trauma Informed Care

THROUGH YOGA & EMBODIED MEDITATION

Trauma-informed yoga can be deeply healing because it encourages the body to release stress, tension, and emotional blockages that often result from past traumatic experiences. By integrating mindfulness and body awareness, it can help rebuild trust in oneself and the body, improve emotional regulation, and foster a sense of resilience and calm.

Trauma-informed yoga offers a space for slow, deliberate healing, helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, release trauma-related tension, and regain a sense of safety and empowerment.

Ashtanga Intersections

EMERGENT HEALING SPACES

This unique offering fuses the timeless wisdom of Ashtanga Yoga with a commitment to social justice, embodied activism, and collective liberation. This innovative approach honors the traditions of yoga while embracing the diverse identities and lived experiences of our community.

We are proud to create a space where Black + Brown, Queer + Trans, and marginalized voices are celebrated, and where healing is rooted in inclusivity, empathy, and empowerment.

Massage

CHAVUTTI THIRUMAL (FOOT PRESS) & AYURVEDIC HEAD MASSAGE

Chavutti Thirumal is a soothing, relaxing yet deep massage treatment by foot press. Ayurvedic massage focuses on the upper back, shoulders, neck and head.

  • 'A Facilitator of Revolution'

    ‘Working with Wambui is much more than working with an excellent teacher. I experienced Wambui as a facilitator of growth and healing, of self discovery and, dare I say, of revolution. Her teachings have allowed me to experience yoga through new depths, and in much deeper connection with rest as a practice, with authenticity, and my own alignment.’
