Dawn & Leah

Dawn’s desire of hosting a yoga retreat for Women of Color came after her first attendance of one in the fall of 2016. She had never attended a retreat after years of practicing yoga. She came back determined to bring something similar to Ohio.

Her first yoga retreat was co-facilitated with Danielle Graham in 2018. Since that time, this annual gathering has brought women from near and far to Ohio for a weekend of rest, renewal, and friendship. With a shared passion and commitment to this purpose, Dawn invited Leah Willis to co-lead this year’s event. 

Dawn M. Rivers is the owner of Daybreak Yoga and Wellness Boutique in Bedford, Ohio and Leah Willis is the studio manager.
