This 8-week series is open to anyone who feels that they are out of shape, a larger body, or who just feel like they would enjoy being in a yoga class with similar shapes and sizes. There is no weight requirement for this class and all levels are welcome.

The People's Yoga Scholarship Fund

The People's Yoga Scholarship Fund is a product of your memberships ($5 of each $60 monthly membership is donated to the Scholarship fund). Most of the fund is then distributed among needy yogis in your community to help subsidize the cost of their regular yoga practice. A portion of the fund is put towards subsidizing the cost of continued training for the fabulous teachers of TPY.

Thank you for your contribution!

In January we raised $950 to support yoga access in our community!
