The Facts

What are we doing?

Connecting people and organizations to create a sustainable yoga and mindfulness practice in communities where there isn’t access otherwise.

Where is the action?

Yoga Effect is based in Colorado. The first community to benefit from Yoga Effect funding is Cabarete in the Dominican Republic at the Mariposa Center for Girls.

Since then, we have collaborated with Girls Inc. of Metro Denver, Teach Haiti and Makeda’s Art and Yoga Shala in Port au Prince Haiti. The Haiti connections are made possible through Helping Hands Noramise.

Timeline?

Yoga classes began in January of 2018 at the Mariposa DR center. Since then, yoga classes have been available every semester, until the spring of 2020 when the pandemic made it unsafe to gather. Since then we have established a partnership with Girls Inc. of Metro Denver, Teach Haiti near Port au Prince, and Makeda’s Art and Yoga Shala in Port au Prince.
