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.
