In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and national civil unrest in response to the murder of George Floyd, The Collective STL developed Just Breathe STL.

Since our founding, we’ve always prioritized the power of breath. During this time the notion of being able to breathe and the sacredness of breath in general was being threatened.

This intergenerational summer wellness experience emphasizes breath, family, and mindfulness. In addition to the yoga practices, The Collective STL partners with other community members and organizations to include additional entertainment and activities such as live music, dance performances, African drumming, journaling, art, biking, and hiking.
