?? Yoga for teachers, yoga for change. Thanks to our partnership with #lululemon, we provided mats to Marianne Kalinoski in Huntington, West Virginia, where she offers yoga to Appalachian teachers. ?? “In this rural area, stress levels are high for teachers who not only educate but also support students facing difficult home lives and other challenges. Teachers need an outlet to release stress. We offer Vinyasa and Restorative Yoga sessions to support their well-being.” By supporting teachers, we uplift entire communities. ?? #YogaForEducators #YogaChangesLives

Michelle’s work supports parents and children through yoga, HypnoBirthing?, and holistic wellness. A parent recently shared this heartfelt testimonial: ?? “One day, my child was having a very difficult time in class, crying a lot. At pick-up, I explained to the teacher why he was upset.

?? Seva Spotlight: Jordan Ashley & Souljourn Yoga ?? In 2019, Souljourn Yoga launched its first On the Ground Yoga Teacher Training in Rwanda, with the mission of integrating yoga into community development. With mats from our Mat Grant Program, they trained local teachers, supported primary school educators, and guided young women in leading their own yoga and meditation practices. This year, they’re expanding their efforts—returning to Rwanda to train the trainers and ensure the impact of yoga continues to spread. We’re honored to have supported their work and can’t wait to see how they continue to make a difference. Want to learn more?
