# Wynnefield: Encouraged by Online Fans, Two Friends Created Hood Healers Yoga

After lots of brainstorming and a year spent hosting yoga sessions outside and sharing images on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/hoodhealersphl/), friends Alisha Edwards and Azia Henry decided to bring their yoga studio, [Hood Healers](https://vreel.page/hoodhealers), to life.

Many of their social media followers were encouraging them to start their businesses and teach others.

“We want to heal the hood and I was like, healers..." Henry said about coming up with the name. "I didn't really think much of it but just wrote it down.”
