 ABOUT US

I Am Yogi Studios was founded in 2020 as a virtual yoga studio for Women of Color. In the height of the pandemic, the world experienced trauma that would take a lifetime to heal. Our mission is to train Women healing techniques that would be practiced for generations to come. 

 

Like many, Lisa Robertson, founder of I Am Yogi, suffered from depression and anxiety while being pregnant with her second child. Yoga was suggested by her healthcare provider and ultimately what had saved her life. The bigger problem was this life-changing method of healing was not readily available to black women. No stable studio resided in Southeast Queens and no consistent classes. She traveled for her practice and penetrated their spaces with her blackness.

Today I Am Yogi has a network of 350 black women in Jamaica Queens, 10 trained and certified yoga instructors, built their very own yoga apparel and accessory line and is recognized with a citation for their advocacy for women’s health and wellness within the community.

HATHA YOGA 

A branch of yoga which uses physical and mental techniques to preserve and channel energy.

With consistent practice, Hatha Yoga enhances strength, flexibility, and balance. As we incorporate breath work (pranayama) and meditation, other benefits will be gained such as the ability to focus, increased productivity, positive energy and overall happiness.

VINYASA YOGA 

A branch of yoga that focuses on connecting the breath to your constant flow of movements. Let's speed things up.

This class may also be classified as a "power yoga". You can expect to get your fitness on here; an increase of stamina, muscle conditioning and toning, you will also gain a focus-driven mind-set due to this moving meditation.

INVERSIONS

A concept in yoga that requires you to develop mind-body awareness by stretching/holding  asanas that are naturally against gravity.

Due to these being the most challenging asanas in yoga, we have workshopped this into a class to allow you to feel confident and progressive in your flow. Remember, Downward-dog is an inversion :)
