Welcome to yogaHOPE

yogaHOPE, is a non-profit outreach organization dedicated to establishing rehabilitative yoga programs in residential facilities for underserved women in substance abuse recovery, poor and homeless women, and victims of domestic violence. The practice of yoga has been shown to produce positive motivational change by helping women regain their vital center of energy, satisfaction and stability. It can help reduce low self-esteem and poor body image, and greatly improves a woman's sense of personal empowerment, yet female populations who could benefit from this practice don’t have access to it!
