Yoga in Action
Community Fund
Through our Community Fund, we aim to uplift folks who have been historically marginalized in wellness spaces including BIPOC and AAPI friends, Queer & Trans* folks, as well as people who are experiencing financial hardship. You can contribute to our Community Fund monthly or as a one-time gift. The Community Fund supports:
Reserving No-Cost scholarship spots for all our workshops and events (APPLY HERE!)
Offering FREE community classes
Pay our teachers for classes specifically geared to marginalized groups
Pay teachers outside our community who are already doing this work in communities they are part of and serve
Offering FREE Yoga Snacks on YouTube
Sponsoring no-cost spots in programs being held for marginalized folks outside of our offerings (we can’t do it all, and MANY others are doing great work we want to support!)
Donations to charity organizations & wellness-related social justice initiatives
If you’d like to help decide where & how to allocate the Community Fund, email us to join our Community Fund panel of members and teachers. This is a minimal monthly time commitment, but vital to our community and the spirit of our Collective.
FREE Yoga Snacks on YouTube
Practicing yoga doesn't have to be time-consuming or look any particular way to add meaning and mindfulness to your life. Nor do YOU have to be anything or anywhere other than who you are and where you are to begin and sustain a yoga practice.
Our free yoga snacks are lil bite-sized practice snippets of movement, breath work, and meditation.
We hope they help lower the barriers to starting and maintaining a life-giving yoga practice. We hope these snacks nourish and enrich you & anyone you choose to share these with! Try one now!
