Oya Heart Warrior is a Black Yoga teacher in London, UK, who founded Unapologetically Black Yoga to build compassionate, Black only yoga spaces, for Black people to move and breathe freely beyond traditional yoga practices and the white gaze. With a background in community mental health, yoga therapy, energy healing and somatic dance, Oya developed a racial trauma informed practice that cultivates Black Body Joy, rest and belonging.

Oya believes it is vital to offer Black people non-linear movement and vibrational meditation that are not confined to a mat, stillness or how it looks. Sprawling off the mat, freeing up ourselves, sounding and connecting to what we sense and feel, is far more important to a vibrant, wonder-full people, who have been uprooted and systematically dehumanised.
