Quote:
In Nairobi, we have 42 teachers. Each teacher has picked their own center that they teach yoga at. At each center, there are ten to 50 to a hundred children, or adults. They teach at the gamut of places, from homeless shelters to clinics for HIV positive women, to primary schools, to pieces of grass that look like good places for yoga. So we’re raising the money to be able to empower the teacher to become a leader in their community and make change happen.

By Mary Lynn Fitton. Founder, The Art of Yoga Project
It was the day before Thanksgiving at San Mateo County’s Camp Kemp Juvenile detention facility. Holidays are always an especially rough time for girls locked up away from family and friends. At The Art of Yoga Project (AYP), we not only hold yoga and art classes on holidays, we try to think of special ways to inspire the girls. We decided a movie showing would be just the thing. And not just any movie, but one which they could personally relate to and see themselves in a new, hopeful light. Read On....
