Sunder Ashni is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and has a private practice at Minka. She facilitates 1 on 1 and group sessions, ceremonies, meditations and experiences permeated with love that cultivate radical awareness, appreciation of self and overall ecstatic wellness within participants and their community with the intention of re-cultivating a deep connection with our Earth mother.
Elisa Bluming is a seasoned Pilates teacher and came to this role in 1998 during recovery of a debilitating dance injury. Her post rehab results in pilates showed her that we have a great power to be in control of our own healing and it inspired her to teach and share this knowledge. In 2001 she founded Bluming Studio as a place people could study Pilates and Gyrotonic with an emphasis on body awareness and the application of the work in their daily lives. Her approach to teaching combines her love of movement with her love of visual art and has often been told that this has given her the superpower of x-ray vision.
Her love of teaching and connecting community led her to co-found Grand Street Healing Project in 2018 with her partner Domino Kirke Badgley and after 23 years in the Fitness and Wellness world, she wants to help shift the paradigm of wellness services from luxury items to practices that are equitably accessible. The creation of GSHP with its budding strategic partnerships (including Minka Brooklyn) has opened the doors to continue and broaden this vision.

What Is Sliding Scale
We provide all of our community offerings and some private sessions by sliding scale. We believe everyone is entitled to heal their wounds so they can thrive; we also believe that wellness and healing practitioners deserve to make a living wage. In order to make this possible, we ask you to pay as much as you can, so those who might not be able to pay as much can still receive their healing session--this is the idea behind 'paying it forward'. We are all in this together, and we choose to do our best to take care of one another.
Thank you in advance!
A Love & Liberation Experience for Women of Color

WHAT IS IT?
A sisterhood love & liberation boot camp that invites women of color to live in the conversations & experiences that bring us closer to what pleases our souls.
We believe life is a game that is meant to be played. So this experience is our invitation for women to activate every aspect of their days in ways that allow them to consciously play the game of life as if they were meant to win - because they are. We also know that life gets difficult at times, and sometimes it takes divine intervention to effectively navigate those waters. This is why it is so critical for us to have specific tools, practices & experiences to hold on to, and to serve as our life jackets when we need it most.
This bootcamp right here, is designed to be a training ground that attunes our listening, and our actions to our souls.
Join us this May!
