Aisha Waters is the founder of Space & Grace, Philadelphia’s largest Black-owned yoga studio. She created Space & Grace in response to the need for more intentional wellness spaces for Black and Brown communities and to share the practices that supported her own journey through anxiety, depression, and profound grief.

Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and other restorative practices, Aisha creates spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and access practical tools for healing and nervous system regulation. Her work extends beyond the studio through corporate and community wellness experiences, retreats, workshops, and yoga teacher training.

Before founding Space & Grace, Aisha spent nearly 20 years in corporate project management. Today, she brings that experience together with her wellness practice to build programming that makes healing and well-being more accessible, intentional, and rooted in community.

Space & Grace has been recognized by Philadelphia Magazine as Best of Philly — Best Yoga Studio, 2025, and by the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Philly Favorites for three consecutive years.
