Aisha created Surviben’ with Wellness to cultivate a safe space for everyone to enjoy the benefits of yoga. Her goal is break the stigma that yoga is only for certain body types; only for those who live in certain neighborhoods; and only for those who can afford the most expensive clothes and accessories.

Yoga is for everyone! We all deserve to learn how to use mindful movements and breathing to calm our bodies and our clear our minds. I love that I can move my body and engage in meaningful breathing to provide my body what it needs at any given moment.
