517 HEALTH & WELLNESS
Healthy communities are built when education and enjoyment go hand in hand. Ourspace Foundation creates accessible, culturally relevant health and wellness programming that supports individual well-being while strengthening community connections and local businesses.
Our work is grounded in the eight dimensions of wellness, recognizing that physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational, financial, and intellectual health all play a role in building strong communities. By focusing on the individual, the community, and the business ecosystem, our wellness initiatives create impact across multiple levels.
Signature programs include Yoga by the River, one of the region’s largest community yoga gatherings, set to R&B sounds along serene riverfront views, as well as quarterly health and wellness seminars for small businesses and entrepreneurs. This work is anchored by the 517 Health & Wellness Conference, which brings together practitioners, educators, and community members to deepen learning and connection around holistic health.
YOGA BY THE RIVER
Yoga by the River returns in 2025, running from May through September in collaboration with The BLK Yoga Collective. Set along the river with calming views and R&B-inspired sounds, the series offers accessible, community-centered yoga experiences that promote movement, mindfulness, and collective well-being throughout the summer months.
