INHALE
I believe that freedom, healing, and joy are our birthright, but also require the invested support of community.
“As a jovial-mover and shaker, I founded Little Spaces Wellness to fulfill my heart’s mission. Working at the intersection of art, education, and wellness for the last decade, I've always been drawn back to two components of previous roles—the impact of movement breaks in the classroom and the gratitude experienced and witnessed in community-based fitness classes.”
—Alexis Dupree, MAOL, 200-CYT
