THANK YOU

Your donations go directly to the people we serve. Any amount helps us cover the cost of provided yoga in jails, correctional facilities, re-entry, and recovery settings. Give the gift of yoga - think about what you would pay for a yoga class and help cover the cost for someone else to attend a yoga class that provides the tools for healing individuals and communities.

On average our programs cost $50 per class. Costs covering materials, teacher compensation and travel, contract establishment and program sustainability and evaluation. Your donation goes a long way in supporting our mission. Thank you!
