Our story
Shared roots.
Room to grow.
MAAT Inspired Studios is a collective of independently owned studios led by Black and Brown yogis.
These spaces are connected through shared roots, teacher training, and a commitment to serving community through yoga, healing, and liberation. Each studio stands on its own, while reflecting a larger vision of wellness that honors culture, connection, and care.
Together, they represent a growing network of spaces helping bring yoga home to Black and Brown communities.
Shared values
Different spaces.
A connected practice.
Community care
Connection, healing and care for the communities each space serves.
Culture & liberation
Honoring Black and Brown lives, cultural awareness and the freedom to belong.
Access & integrity
Making room for different bodies and experiences, with care and integrity.
Teacher development
Continuing to learn, share and grow together beyond the training room.
From teachers to studio owners
What we learn becomes what we share.
These studios were founded or led by graduates of the teacher training program co-created by Ja Cole and Raja Michelle.
Graduates carried that practice into spaces of their own, shaped by the people and communities they serve. Their shared lineage connects them; each studio remains independently owned and led.
