Mandela Yoga Project Inc

Our mission is to scale the delivery of a new system of free yoga that is designed to address stress, racial trauma, and chronic health conditions in public health crisis communities and is offered by residents themselves who are well-trained and well-compensated Mandela Yoga Peer Facilitators. We believe that access to yoga - a proven therapeutic modality - is an issue of social justice. The Mandela Yoga model is peer-led, neighborhood-based, trauma-responsive, and accessible to all bodies, even those with limited mobility. The 45-minute, standardized Sonya's Sequence includes breathing and postures proven in clinical settings to affect blood glucose and blood pressure positively and is specifically designed to be practiced without props or special clothing. We work to disrupt the mercantile model of yoga and yoga teacher training that centers white practitioners and teachers in and from predominantly well-resourced communities. Instead, Mandela Yoga Project, Inc. equips people of color with chronic health conditions who live in low-income communities with the tools to become greater agents of their own self-healing and facilitators of self-healing by their neighbors.
