Save Women's Exotic Workout

As a woman who dances to the beat of her own drum, Adena Clarey opened Women's Exotic Workout 17 years ago. She found her calling to the healing arts by becoming a practicing Yoga instructor. During one of her yoga sessions, her student Melany approached her and confided that she needed help being comfortable in her own skin. She asked Adena to teach her exotic dance, knowing that Adena had years of prior experience.

That was all she needed to be off and "spinning" with a unique new genre of healing arts for women.

In the past two years, Adena has struggled keeping the studio open, and sacrificed a personal income to keep the studio alive. Her students and community of women are desperate to help keep the studio's doors open. We are hoping to raise money to prevent the closing of the studio on January 31st, 2017. Adena has been struggling to make full rent payments, with the holiday season and bad weather being the catalyst for closing the studio. The goal is $8,000 by January 31st to pay the back rent and utilities.

Testimonies:

"When I am in here, I am not 'out there'" - Wanda P.

"Adena I wanted to let yo know, I cried my eyes out on my way home last night from class. I don't know if you knew but a few years ago I had to have a double masectomy and haven't felt like a women in two years. Last night, I felt intimate with my husband. Thank you." - Cristie R.

"I was in a bad place when I came to class tonight. It felt as if I was the only one you were teaching in class tonight. Thank you for the healing and the much needed hug at the end of class." - Anne L.

We believe that this studio is necessary and a safe haven for women to discover and explore all aspects of themselves, through dance and yoga.

Thank you! Namaste.
