Help Us Bring Healing Where It’s Needed Most

This Give Miami Day, I’m raising money for an organization that has shaped my life, my purpose, and the lives of thousands of people across Florida: Yoga 4 Change.

Yoga 4 Change is a nonprofit that brings trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness practices to individuals who need them most—incarcerated youth and adults, veterans, survivors of trauma, people in recovery, individuals experiencing homelessness or mental illness, and students in under-resourced schools. We serve communities often overlooked, providing tools that build resilience, emotional regulation, self-compassion, and hope. With a statewide footprint across four Florida regions, Yoga 4 Change reaches more than 15,000 participants each year through thoughtfully designed, evidence-based programs.

Why This Matters to Me

I began teaching with Yoga 4 Change in 2021, and from the very first class, I saw the impact. I’ve taught yoga and mindfulness to women in recovery, survivors of trafficking and violence, individuals experiencing homelessness, and youth navigating adversity. I’ve witnessed a room shift from tension to trust. I’ve watched someone take their first deep breath of the day. I’ve seen small moments spark real, lasting change.

Today, I serve as the South Florida Program Manager, supporting our teachers, strengthening community partnerships, and expanding our reach across Miami-Dade and Broward. But at the heart of my work is still what brought me here: holding space for people who often have nowhere else to breathe, move, or be seen.

Why Your Donation Matters

When you donate to Yoga 4 Change, you’re not just giving to a nonprofit—you’re investing in:

• Trauma-informed yoga classes in recovery centers, shelters, prisons, and schools

• Evidence-based curriculum that empowers participants to manage stress, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves

• Trained, compassionate teachers who show up week after week for people who rely on these classes

• Accessible wellness programming that meets people exactly where they are

Your support helps us keep classes free for participants who need them, expand our presence in South Florida, and continue transforming lives across the state.
