““This practice isn’t intended for you to go in thinking that you are broken and that you need to fix yourself. That’s not the space of, or the practice of, yoga. The practice of yoga is acknowledging that you are already whole and complete, and that there are layers on us that veil truth. We’re moving through the removal of those layers in order to see truth, which is that you are whole, you are fine, you are exactly who you were created to be.””
Meet Tamika
Tamika Caston-Miller is an international yoga educator, executive coach, and entrepreneur living the life of urban farmer and conscious community builder in Houston, Texas. She curates accessible and inclusive yoga practices and philosophy in service to collective healing and community repair through the lens of rest, resilience, and integration. Tamika is founder of The Ranch Houston and Ashe Yoga Collective, a writer for Yoga Journal, contributor to the Yoga of Parenting Book, and appointee to the Executive Leadership Team for the City of Houston LGBTQ+ Advisory Board.
Focused on moving those from traditionally marginalized communities beyond marginalized realities through truth-speaking, collaborative work, and collective rest, Tamika aims to build intersectional, intergenerational, multiethnic communities in which radical compassion, agency, and self acceptance are normalized. Her modern application of ancient principles is inspired by her understanding of yoga as a practice of right relationship with others, the planet, and Self, and is informed by those she counts as her most influential teachers and mentors.
Tamika has been featured and keynote speaker for events and organizations aiming to increase corporate wellness amongst diverse populations and empower women, including Amplify Women of Color, ALLY's ERG Council, and the Women in Agriculture Conference; is an active member of the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce; and has been recognized by for her work to expand equity and inclusion across intersectional identities, including being nominated for the Houston Business Journal’s Diversity in Business Award.
