OM THRIVE omthrive.org 212 SE Alder St.

For Day Bibb, yoga was necessary to her healing. She started Om Thrive back in 2018 after realizing how mental and emotional trauma from an abusive relationship was affecting her physically. Bibb was experiencing insomnia, chest tightness, headaches, and other symptoms associated with PTSD. As a practice, yoga has helped her immensely, and because she believes so strongly in it, OM Thrive offers classes for a minimum donation of $1. It’s not just yoga, either—you can also take healing dance and sound healing classes, and for the little ones, OM offers creative movement classes. You can even attend one of the Yomassage sessions, which blend massage therapy by a certified specialist with holding poses for longer periods of time. It’s yoga and wellness for survivors, provided by survivors, and that connection is incredibly important now more than ever.
