Yaa Wellness Collective

Greetings Community! My name is Dr. Brittney Cofield-PooIe, I am a certified yoga teacher (RYT 200), a rest advocate, and a community generator. In 2011, during a life-affirming trip to Ghana, West Africa, I learned about the rich tradition linked to the Akan tribe of naming children based on the day of their birth. I was born on Thursday which meant that "Yaa" was the name connected to my life journey. Through more research, I found a much deeper meaning of "Yaa": confident, persistent, intelligent, and optimistic. These are also the defining characteristics of what I want to reaffirm within YOU.
