About Yoga for the People

Yoga for the People is a grassroots, volunteer-run organization that relies on the support of the yoga community to match volunteer instructors with nonprofits who help unserved, underserved or at-risk people and to provide community-based donation only classes. In addition, YFP provides support and education for yoga teachers choosing the path of yoga in service to those in need. Mission: Yoga for the People brings yoga to the people. Vision: Yoga for the People is an all-volunteer organization. We create opportunities for yoga teachers, organizations and communities to foster relationships that promote wellness. We do this by offering yoga in safe, supportive environments. We are also a community resource that offers yoga teachers and organizations yoga education. Values: Access: We believe that practicing yoga enhances your health and well being and that all people should have exposure to this benefit. Commitment: We provide high-quality, relevant trainings to yoga teachers to prepare them to be knowledgeable, reliable volunteers at our nonprofit partner sites. Service: We believe that seva, or selfless service, is an integral component of a vibrant yoga practice.
