Welcome to THE VAULT - a way for us to laugh, sweat & cry together during a time when we’ve been asked to stay apart physically AND team up to help increase diversity & accessibility in the yoga & wellness community.
Welcome to THE VAULT
Join us for one of a kind classes made just for YOU from all of our badass teachers from all over the world.
Cry with us, laugh with us, get pissed off at meditating with us, fall out of half moon with us.
The Vault was inspired by two things - The pandemic & the BLM movement. During a time when we’re asked to stay apart physically is all the more reason to double down on being together virtually. While we don’t have a million dollars (yet!) we are teaming up to support awesome causes to bring more diversity into the infamously exclusive yoga & healing industry. Because yoga is for fucking everyone.
100% of proceeds from The Vault memberships will go DIRECTLY to different companies, organizations & events dedicated to bringing yoga to where there is none, cultivating safe spaces where our Black & POC friends feel welcome to practice & funding teacher trainings for future kickass teachers.
If you’ve been following us for awhile, you know your NAF Babes are scrappy AF. We don’t need fancy filming equipment or stuffy sound set ups - we’re here to bring you unfiltered, REAL classes, workshops & meditations straight from our homes. You’ll feel like you’re right there with us. Oh! And all of our classes were generously made on a volunteer basis from our instructors.
Here’s how it works:
Donate $10 (or more!) to The Soul Long Beach Yoga Festival to provide 1 free ticket to a community member who otherwise wouldn’t be able to make it to their dope virtual festival.

Meet Pam of Soul + Unity Yoga Festival
From a very young age I knew I was different. However I hid my differences because like most of us, we want to fit in and be liked. Unfortunately I spent the greater part of my life trying to "fit in".
I had tried yoga in the past but found it was slow, repetitive and boring. It just didn't resonate with me. Then one memorable evening I attended a yoga class where they began the class with chanting mantra. I had never done that before and it felt quite foreign but somehow felt so deep in my soul familiar. I remember looking around and I started crying, I was among like-minded individuals such as myself. I was finally home.
As I started to explore yoga, I looked around and I didn't see very many people that looked like me. I noticed that not only did I look different but my body moved differently. After becoming a yoga teacher, students shared with me that they did not feel welcome in the traditional yoga class and much of yoga's concepts were misunderstood. I felt it was my duty to create this festival as a safe space to introduce people to yoga and to help establish the foundation for a lifelong practice and greater well-being.
Our first annual Soul + Unity Yoga Festival (formerly Soul Long Beach Yoga Festival) held February 22, 2020 brought over 300 people to the center of Long Beach to sample a variety of yoga classes, buy life affirming products, eat healthy, edifying foods and experience several healing modalities. This year, due to COVID19, the second annual festival will be virtual. Although seeing everyone in person is exciting, maintaining a safe and healthy community is more important. We look forward to sharing space with you as like-minded souls connecting through the practice of yoga. Namaste
