A place to breathe
Mindfulness for us.
From the very first breath.
More Mindful Studio is a home for Black folks and people of color learning to practice mindfulness, live and in community, at whatever price you can afford. No experience needed. No performance required. Come as you are.
Our Philosophy
Come as you are.
The practice meets you where you are.
Mindfulness was never meant to be a luxury good. A few minutes of daily practice changes how we meet stress, and the people carrying the most stress deserve the most access. That is why our community offerings are free or pay-what-you-can, always. The companies we work with make that possible.
We practice trauma-informed mindfulness. That means invitation instead of instruction, choice at every step, and a room where nobody is put on the spot. Eyes open or closed. Chair or floor. Stay or step away. You are in charge of your own practice here, from your very first sit.

Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Vernon.
I spent more than twenty years inside a Fortune 500 company before this practice found me, in 2020, when the world stopped and I finally sat still. Mindfulness gave me a way to be with everything that year carried. It still does.
I built More Mindful Studio because I kept looking for a room where people who look like me were learning this practice together, from the beginning, without the price tag and without the performance. I could not find enough of them. So I am building one.

One booking funds
a hundred seats.
Every corporate workshop we deliver funds free memberships and weekly practice sessions for our community. When a company books us, somebody who could never afford a wellness subscription gets a place to practice, free, for a year. That is the whole model. That is the point.
Your practice starts
with one breath.
