“We’re Here” is a Filipino centered evening of yoga, breathwork, and community, created for us to slow down, care for ourselves, and connect with one another.
We went looking for community and found each other.
We’re Here started pretty simply. Sam put out a call on Instagram looking for her Filipino yogis and wellness people in NYC. Tannia responded with basically, “I’m here!”
One message turned into meeting up, meeting up turned into friendship, and we realized we had both been looking for the same thing: more Filipino community within the wellness spaces we already loved.
So we thought, why not start creating it?
We’re Here is an invitation to slow down, move, breathe, and connect.
We wanted to create a space that centers Filipino community while welcoming anyone who feels connected to what we’re creating, whether wellness is already part of your life or you’re completely new to it.
For both of us, this is also about making a little more room for ourselves. So many of us are really good at caring for the people around us. This evening is an opportunity to give some of that care back to our own bodies, breath, rest, and well being.
There’s no one way wellness has to look.
You don’t need to be flexible, super spiritual, experienced, or good at any of this to be here. Just come curious and explore what feels supportive to you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We’ll spend the evening moving through gentle yoga and a guided breathwork journey, followed by an invitation to stay, connect, and spend some time in community.
Yoga with Sam | @sambamwellness
We’ll begin with a slow, grounding 45-minute yoga practice designed to help you unwind and create space in the body. We’ll move gently, hold postures longer, and focus on breath and relaxation.
No experience necessary — beginners are absolutely welcome. 🧘🏻♀️
Breathwork with Tannia | @youralchemizingbreath
From there, we’ll transition into a 60 minute guided breathwork journey 🌬️
We’ll begin by slowing down and connecting with the breath before gradually moving into beginner friendly, trauma aware conscious connected breathwork. Through breath, music, stillness, and integration, you’ll be invited to explore at your own pace, with space to slow down, modify, or rest at any time.
Breathwork can invite deep relaxation, clarity, emotional release, stillness, and a deeper connection with yourself. Every experience is different, and there’s nothing you need to achieve or feel.
Community Connection
After our practices come to a close, you’re invited to stay with us for some relaxed community time before we wrap up the evening at 9:30 PM.
We’ll have a few light Filipino snacks and drinks to share while we land, chat, meet some new people, and spend a little time together.
Stay for a little or stay until the end. There’s no expectation to share or participate in conversation. This is simply an invitation to connect in whatever way feels comfortable to you.
After all, that’s how this whole thing started.
Whether you come to move, breathe, meet some new people, reconnect with yourself, or simply try something you’ve never done before, we’re happy you found your way here.
We’re Here.
