Serita Colette is a nationally recognized queer, gender expansive Malayali-American healer and educator on occupied Tongva-Gabrielino land. Their work intersects Ayurveda, Yoga, Rest and Liberation, gender-race-class-sexuality, disability justice, mutual aid, and the arts. Serita’s teachings are an inner call to action, shifting from body attainment to dharma, understanding emotions and using our power skilfully so that we may all be free. Their studies in Yoga, Ayurveda, Gender, Anthropology in Social Justice and Seed Sovereignty have shaped their call to embody dharma as our inherent vehicle toward collective liberation.
Serita started the first people of color yoga practice in Minneapolis, Mni Sota in 2015. Over the last 7 years Serita founded and continues to lead Rest & Liberation Retreats for Black and native people, trans and queer people, disabled and poor folks and folks living on the margins.
