Land Acknowledgment
The ability to gather, practice, learn, and establish our presence as a yoga studio came at a great expense to the original inhabitants of this land, the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe (mah-wek-mah ah-lone-ee).
We would like to acknowledge that Bloom Yoga Collective sits on the occupied and the traditional lands of the Muwekma Ohlone people, and we pay respect to elders both past and present.
Long before Bloom Yoga Collective was established, this area was home to the Ohlone. The Ohlone still have a presence today, in San Leandro and throughout the Bay Area.
The present-day Muwekma Ohlone Tribe is comprised of all of the known surviving American Indian lineages aboriginal to the San Francisco Bay region and who were also members of the historic Federally Recognized Verona Band of Alameda County. The aboriginal homeland of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe includes the counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, most of Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, and portions of Napa, Santa Cruz, Solano, and San Joaquin.
Let us acknowledge with respect and reverence the Muwekma Ohlone People, who have stewarded this land throughout the generations, while not forgetting the history of colonization of this land.
