About

a little about this world.

I’m Samiya—a yoga teacher, maker, and the woman behind Lotus Social Club and Pretty Plant Matter, based in Washington, DC.

I love movement, plants, making things with my hands, and getting dressed in a way that feels like me. These brands give those interests a place to meet.

LOTUS SOCIAL CLUB

Lotus Social Club brings people together through yoga and intimate gatherings. Think thoughtful movement, a welcoming room, something refreshing to sip, and time to get to know the people practicing beside you.

I want you to feel comfortable showing up as yourself, whether you’re finding your footing or returning to a practice you love.

PRETTY PLANT MATTER

Pretty Plant Matter is where my love of plants and making comes to life through botanical body care and handmade pieces for your practice and everyday life.

From body balm to a bag you carry to class, I’m drawn to things that feel good to use and beautiful to keep around.

Both belong here: the practice, the creativity, the pleasure of taking care of yourself—and the people you meet along the way.

See you on the mat,
Samiya
