Join RUNNING FREE as we take our inaugural steps in Bedstuy.

RUNNING FREE is a wellness group for people impacted by the criminal punishment system – formerly incarcerated individuals, their family members, defender staff, program staff, and community members who believe in the capacity for individuals to create change within themselves and in their communities through exercise and collective healing. 

Community members will lead us in weekly running/walking sessions and restorative circles with the goals of promoting physical health and building community networks. 

“Allow Us to Reintroduce Running” is the first step we will take together to reach these goals.


Mondays 6pm. Optional donation based yoga class at Namastuy to follow
Email Vivianne at runningfree.nyc@gmail.com for more information and to RSVP.
