Why do you support Project Yoga?

I support Project Yoga because yoga is part of my lifestyle and the focus of bringing yoga to kids of color is so necessary. The sooner we can teach kids other ways to cope in all situations. the better for them and our society.

Why are yoga and mindfulness in our community important to you?

Yoga and mindfulness are important to me because they promote understanding and slowing down in any situation. Our society is so fast-paced now. We can benefit from taking a few minutes to consider others as we move through difficulties.
