Repped
What is Repped?
It is our sacred duty to make yoga accessible and welcoming for all. As part of our continuing efforts, we offer programs celebrating underrepresented communities: Repped.
Repped classes and programs are led by and will center members of these communities. It will be a time for people to celebrate and recharge in a space dedicated to themselves. Allies are welcome to join in practice, joy, and unity.
Repped Schedule – 2026:
This year, we’re switching things up! Each featured community will have its own monthly class, all leading up to a public community service event in May – see below!
All classes/workshops begin at 1pm:
National Hispanic Heritage Month; yoga en español
We have two classes that will be taught in Spanish in September: Sun, Sept 13 (studio) and Sat, Sept 26th (outdoor-free).
vinyasa yoga en español: 13 de septiembre (estudio)
En esta clase de Vinyasa Flow se sincroniza la respiración con el movimiento. Los estudiantes trabajan en conectar la respiración con posturas físicas para crear una práctica fluida y rítmica que despierta a la vez la fuerza, energía y flexibilidad. Todos los niveles son bienvenidos.
Please sign up in advance! All levels welcome.

About Us
Repped was born in 2021 out of a shared mission by the three founders, Arlet Koseian-Beckham, Zahra Abbassi, and Ayanna Wells: to redefine what inclusion looks like in the wellness space.
Recognizing that wellness needs are as diverse as our communities, Repped strives to provide the space and tools to make wellness accessible. We bring this to life through classes, workshops, training, and community events. The studio boutique curates items and artwork that uplift and spotlight creators from marginalized communities.
What began as a short-term idea has grown into a powerful movement—and there’s much more ahead.
“Showcasing local artists is deeply important to me. Sharing their talent with our community is impactful and inspiring. I look forward to every exhibition. -Arlet, RYT200, owner & founder of extendYoga
“Mental and physical wellness are human rights. That’s why creating Repped mattered to me. By centering diverse voices, challenging norms, and removing barriers to access, we’re not just making wellness more inclusive- we are reimagining a future where wellness belongs to all of us.” -Zahra, RYT500
“Working in research and healthcare has taught me that seeing people who can empathize with your experience makes a world of difference. Safe spaces become safer as a result.” -Ayanna, RYT500
