In a picturesque celebration of World Mental Health Day on October 10, 2022, the Mariposa DR organization in Cabarete, Dominican Republic, shone a spotlight on the transformative impact of their Yoga Effect funded yoga program. This initiative is geared towards enhancing the quality of life for young girls born into poverty, emphasizing the crucial connection between mental well-being and physical activity.

Nestled against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea, the Mariposa DR center became a hub of positive energy as girls from the local community came together to participate in a series of yoga sessions.

The Yoga Effect program has proven to be a valuable tool in nurturing the mental health of these girls, allowing them to overcome obstacles and dream beyond their circumstances," said a spokesperson from Mariposa DR.

The organization's dedication to uplifting the lives of girls born into poverty continues to inspire positive change, one yoga session at a time.
