In a world where healing and support are essential, three incredible women embarked on a mission to bring transformation and empowerment to those in need. In 2020, their paths intertwined, forming an unstoppable force for positive change. Meet our founders: a resilient recovering addict, a strong Black woman overcoming race-based trauma, and a determined Latina single mother. Together, they are the driving force behind our non-profit organization.
At our core, we believe in the power of yoga as a healing medicine. It has transformed our lives, and we are passionate about sharing its profound benefits with others who may be on their own healing journeys. Through the unwavering support of grants and the generosity of compassionate individuals, we have been able to make a real impact in our community.
The heart of our work lies in providing scholarships to individuals who may not have access to the healing practices of yoga. To date, we have awarded over 100 scholarships, creating opportunities for individuals to experience the life-changing effects of yoga firsthand. These scholarships serve as stepping stones toward growth, self-discovery, and empowerment.
But our journey doesn't stop there. We aspire to create a ripple effect, inspiring change beyond the mat. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to foster inclusivity, diversity, and a safe space for all individuals to heal, grow, and thrive. We firmly believe that by empowering one person at a time, we can collectively create a more compassionate and resilient society.
Join us on this transformative journey as we continue to raise funds and expand our reach. Your support can help us provide the gift of yoga to those who need it most. Together, we can make a difference, one healing journey at a time.
