Help Expand Programming in 2016
Donation protected
NYC Yoga Project is a 501c3 charitable organization whose mission is to provide New Yorkers with access to yoga to create possibilities in their lives.
NYC Yoga Project partners with established non-profit organizations to bring educational workshops, asana and meditation practices to New Yorkers through the active participation of local certified yoga instructors.
Our goals for 2016 include expansion of programming to more locations, purchasing additional yoga mats and blocks, personal development training to students, creating a summer retreat to upstate New York, and integrating technology to assess our impact.
Our organization has many long term goals to improve the health, wellness, and education for New York City residents. In fall 2015, three (3) NYC Yoga Project teachers taught at locations throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island.
NYC Yoga Project was founded by Dawn Rizzo, a native New Yorker, who after being impacted by various forms of marginalization was empowered by others to strive for a better life. Along her transformative journey, she was introduced to Baptiste Yoga and instinctively sought to share her discovery and help others create possibility in their lives despite roadblocks. With the help of other yoga leaders, Shelby Cafferty and Christina Ferrara, NYC Yoga Project has brought yoga to hundreds of New Yorkers who do not have access.
We hope that you can help support us in our goal to raise funds for this amazing yoga program!
