Alex's Give Miami Day Fundraiser

Yoga 4 Change has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life since 2019. I started as a teacher, simply wanting to share the practice I loved, and over the years, this organization has shaped me into the professional and human I am today. 

I’ve worn many hats from Program Director, community outreach & social media manager, data and grants support, lead trainer, and now bring out development initiatives to life. But the through-line has always been the same: witnessing the profound impact of yoga and mindfulness on people who never believed this practice was “for them.” I’ve seen students walk into a room carrying the weight of stress, trauma, and life’s challenges and leave standing taller, breathing deeper, and feeling even just a moment of peace.

This work matters. The communities we serve deserve access to tools that heal, restore, and empower — and your support on Give Miami Day helps make that possible. If Yoga 4 Change has touched your life, or if you believe in the power of accessible mental health and wellness, I invite you to join me in giving today. Together, we can continue creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and capable of change.

Yoga 4 Change is a nonprofit organization that brings trauma-informed, evidence-based yoga programs to underserved communities including incarcerated individuals, veterans, youth, and those navigating substance use recovery and mental health challenges.

This fundraiser is part of a larger mission to make yoga accessible, inclusive, and transformational for those who need it most. Yoga 4 Change doesn’t just teach poses - it creates safe spaces for connection, healing, and long-term behavioral change through mindfulness and movement.

Your donation helps provide:

• Free or low-cost yoga classes in jails, treatment centers, schools, VA hospitals, and many more.

• Evidence-informed curriculum taught by certified trauma-informed instructors

• Tools for self-regulation, resilience, and mental well-being

Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you for being part of this movement!
