Do you want more ease, balance, and space to rest in your life?
Starshine & Clay {Soul Portal} Online Yoga and Meditation Studio for Black Women & Women of Color
In this online community, we believe that a well rested woman is an unstoppable woman. We believe that Black Women and Women of Color deserve to have more ease in life. So many of us “run the world” of our households, jobs, businesses, places of worship, and community organizations. And we also end up feeling run down.
Starshine & Clay is here to help you create more space in your life for yourself. We are here to support you in cultivating more balance between work and rest. Effort and ease. Makin’ it happen and enjoying the fruits of what you made happen.
We focus on yoga and meditation practices that are accessible, time tested, and also transformative.
Though we love a good sweat. We aren’t talking about work out type yoga here. We are talking about the yoga of mindfulness, stillness, quiet, and restoration-chill.
What we practice and teach in this community is yoga and meditation that is known to:
Spark shifts that have otherwise been hard to make
Aid in creating healthier boundaries
Lessen anxiety and nervous energy
Help us sleep better and refuel throughout the day
Increase focus, awareness, and mindfulness
Decrease stress levels and feelings of overwhelm
Improve creativity, imagination, and problem solving
What styles of yoga are we practicing? Every thing we do is accessible, yet deep. We don’t do surface or superficial here.
Restorative Yoga (the yoga of rest)
Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation and access to liminal space)
Flow (to get the body moving in sacred alignment)
Mindfulness meditation (steady our minds)
If we can get a little woo woo, what we offer in this community truly reconnects or deepens our connection to who we are beyond our roles, identities, and duties we perform. We reconnect to who we were before the world told us who we were supposed to be. We call it a soul portal because here we unite with that part of us that is free, powerful, unbothered, full of love, and joy.
In the words of Starshine Member Tanya Blackwell, “Starshine & Clay is an integral part of my healing and wellness journey. Being in this community has given me something that doesn’t diminish when I share it with others. It only grows. “

What members are saying:
“Starshine’s founder, Octavia Raheem not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. After attending several in person retreats, I was excited for the online experience. The Starshine & Clay monthly membership has helped me in more ways than one — from making a life-changing career decision to supporting my mental health on Election Day 2020. I am grateful for such an intentional community created for us. ”
– L’Oreal Thompson Payton
What members are saying:
“Each practice I feel deep connection to all of the sisters, even though we’ve never met. Starshine isn’t just an online yoga program. It’s a whole ministry.
We need it and we need each other.”
– Adrienne Lacy
Why Starshine & Clay ?
We deserve our own devotion. By having a consistent practice, caring for ourselves is no longer relegated to “when everything else is done” or when we get to it. Instead, you live in a way that is well with your soul. The trap and cycle of doing and doing, of only stopping when you are extremely exhausted, loses its grip. You have access to the best of yourself. You have more fuel for everyone and everything else you love.
Starshine & Clay Membership makes practicing yoga and being well easy and joyful — because it gives you flexible structure and guidance. You’re never on your own. And the moment you join, you become part of a supportive community of sisters who share your values and help you cultivate a practice and deepen your relationship with your best self.
