Your donation of $20 or more will help Living Yoga reach their campaign goal of $20,000 this yearMake a Donation

Consider the impact yoga has had on your life.  Your support of Living Yoga through financial contribution can bring yoga to many—and impact the lives of thousands (last year we taught more than 10,000 student hours of yoga).

More than 90% of Living Yoga’s funding comes from individuals like you. Your gift ensures that some of our community’s most vulnerable have access to the many benefits of yoga such as stress management, self-awareness, impulse control, mindfulness, and distress tolerance.

By investing in personal development skills, you will be supporting young people and adults to build solid personal foundations to further develop and enhance their lives. Past offenders can adopt new behaviors and patterns from which to make safer decisions, teens can learn to make choices about their bodies and their actions from more grounded places, victims of abuse can re-connect within themselves and take steps towards empowerment and trauma healing, and addicts can overcome craving and desire as well as unhealthy and harmful behavior. These changes within individuals not only affect them personally—but everyone they come into contact with—their children, family, neighbors, employers, customers—and most importantly, their community—you.

Support Our Annual Campaign:  Invest In the Human Spirit




Your donation of $20 or more will help us reach our campaign goal of $20,000 this year.  By having a successful annual fund, we can to continue to underwrite free programs for non-profit and government organizations that serve vulnerable populations.

Based on our total cash-operating budget, for each class we teach, Living Yoga needs to raise approximately $156.25 (we teach more than 16 classes/week, more than 832 classes/year). Last year, we taught more than 10,000 student hours of yoga—which means an approximate cost of $13/student. 

Living Yoga is primarily supported through individuals like you.  Gifts made to our organization typically are received at our annual gala, but this year we must diversify our fundraising efforts and reach further out into the community for support to secure our programs. 

Your gift of $20 or more will hold the mat space for at least one individual—offering them one-two hours of time dedicated towards healing, discovering their potential, and moving towards stability—both mentally and physically through their yoga practice.

As a child, I found that I had to divorce myself from my body and feelings.  For me, yoga has been a part of an amazing awakening in my life as I come back to myself and really understand what it means to live.
