About The YOGA Initiative
Expanding access.
Building connection.
We believe therapeutic yoga should be accessible to people and communities facing barriers to participation.
The YOGA Initiative brings together community organizations, trained yoga teachers, and funding to help make that possible. Through programs, education, scholarships, and partnerships, we’re building a foundation for more equitable access to therapeutic yoga.
Our mission
Community wellbeing through therapeutic yoga.
Our mission is to expand equitable access to therapeutic yoga through community partnerships, accessible programming, scholarships, teacher education, and research.
We aim to connect people with practices that support wellbeing while helping teachers and organizations build the capacity to serve their communities with care.

We connect community needs with teachers, education, and resources. Our approach centres collaboration and the development of programs that respond to the people they are intended to serve.
