“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

Cultivating Community by Little Spaces Wellness

Alexis Dupree is a natural born creative and leader, allowing her teaching to be influenced by her faith, social liberation pedagogy, and intuition. With an adapted holistic approach to living, she sought out a healing journey that encouraged a deeper connection to self-love and radical compassion, which in turn increased her connection to others. 

The genesis of Little Spaces Wellness is the belief that everyone, especially Black Women and communities, should have access to sustainable and safe holistic wellness experiences. Little Spaces Wellness is a healing-influenced and healing-focused community wellness initiative.

It is inspired by Dupree’s love for movement and somatic healing modalities, and intends to encourage individuals to prioritize embodied exploration through the use of creativity, movement science, and community gathering.

​Dupree is a doctoral student, certified Yoga Teacher, artist, non-profit professional and former educator. She has taught and served youth and families in Kansas City Public Schools and Chicago Public Schools, served as a summer educator for CDF Freedom Schools, and is an AmeriCorps VISTA service alum. She stands firm in her conviction that joy, freedom, and healing are our birthrights.
