Congratulations Katiana - First Mariposa Yogi

When we met Katiana in the spring of 2018 she quickly lived up to the praise we heard from Mariposa Center staff. Her hardworking and spicy personality was quickly evident and we knew she would go far. We even tried to arrange private advanced yoga training for her with funds collected through Yoga Effect donations. However, the stars did not align. Over the last year we’ve kept tabs on Katiana and are thrilled for her success as a Mariposa Center for Girls graduate and now a high school graduate!

Katiana, is one of the first Mariposas to graduate high school with Yoga Effect sponsored yoga training and we are so proud! We hope she takes the lessons of mindfulness and self-care forward with her into this new phase of life.

Your donations help real girls!

When you donate to yoga effect or attend our events you help girls just like Katiana overcome the challenges of living with generational poverty. Donations to Yoga Effect go directly toward sponsoring yoga classes at the Mariposa Center for Girls in the Dominican Republic. Help us grow the Yoga Effect program so that we can expand to our next location — a Colorado-based girls organization!
