Part of my inspiration in seeking yoga training was an intention to bring the practice to under-served populations.
I spent several years teaching yoga at the after school program run by Girls Inc. of Alameda County, an organization that strives to inspire girls to be Strong, Smart and Bold. They're an amazing nonprofit and truly understand the benefits yoga can bring to their population. I was involved with this program weekly from 2015 to 2018.
I’ve done a variety of other work with youth and diverse populations. Please reach out with any additional opportunities to bring yoga to communities in need, particularly in the East Bay.
Yoga allows these young women precious moments of self-reflection and the opportunity to build both self confidence and friendship.
