the practice, in person — taking root across the diaspora.
powered by sunday wellbeing movement.

respira 100

the breathing hundred.

a hundred vetted spaces — women-led, black- and latina-owned studios holding the practice. the list reshuffles fresh each visit, so everyone in the mix gets seen. real spaces, real ratings.

run a studio, or coach?
get vetted and you’re in the mix — free. the hundred rotates and reshuffles, so being listed means real rotation in front of people seeking care, never a waitlist. women-led, black-, latina-, and diaspora-owned spaces especially welcome.
thank you — we’ll review and add you to the map soon.

the voice is a companion.

the breathing anchor stays universal — it's you.
the guiding voice is offered by people from across the diaspora.

respira is offered free by happy sunday, a 501(c)(3) community wellbeing initiative of the birthright project. we build tools, spaces, and practices that expand access to collective care and wellbeing — across africa, latin america, the caribbean, and the diaspora.
