Going Further Together
Community Programming
In alignment with our mission to offer accessible, holistic yoga to support individual & collective well-being, we seek to expand trauma-informed yoga programming beyond our studio doors and into our communities, including under-resourced community spaces, schools, neighborhood centers, organizations, and workplaces.
Together, we can bring yoga to diverse populations, including caregivers, educators, families and youth who face daily stress and or direct or vicarious trauma.
Partnerships enable this work, so together we can extend our reach, foster stronger community connections, and ensure that more individuals experience the physical, emotional and social benefits of holistic yoga.

Yoga Sanctuary partners with organizations and entities to teach classes direct to their communities. We come to you!
Classes are taught by skilled and qualified Yoga Sanctuary instructors trained in a variety of formats and styles including gentle, trauma-informed, hatha, vinyasa, and holistic wellness.

Around 80% of employees report job-related stress, with many needing help managing it according to the American Stress Institute. This often leads to burnout, high employee turnover, and general life dissatisfaction.
By partnering with your workplace wellness team, we provide supportive workshops and holistic yoga sessions to help your team feel more equipped, emotionally resilient, and connected to one another for a more vibrant and effective workplace and culture.
-
For more depth and longer lasting benefits, we partner with organizations and entities to offer trainings to staff ranging from a one to two day trainings, multi day certification programs, or even teacher trainings in topics relating to Personal Transformation, Youth Yoga, Emotional Resilience & Nervous System Regulation, Somatics, & Trauma Informed Holistic Care.
Our hope is by providing trainings to your organization, your team can emerge more equipped and informed on how they can better support their clients and their own well-being.

Youth are some of our most vulnerable community members and they endure high levels of stress and pressures. How they learn to move through the complexities of life now set the tone for the rest of their lives.
Our Holistic Kids and Youth Yoga Programs offer spaces for kids, youth, and families to explore embodied practices that teach self-regulation, emotional resilience, social-emotional learning, and empowerment. Our approach is playful and mindful and communal inviting kids and youth to find comfort and safety inside and with others.
“If we don’t begin to work collectively and in solidarity with one another, we will perish. The journey of discovering that our dharma is connected to the greater good is challenging but we must do it anyway. We must skillfully take collective and radical action to create a world that allows us to breathe, be, live, be seen, and validated.”
