Help make Mandela Yoga SONYA’S SEQUENCE available

Donation protected
I created SONYA’S SEQUENCE to honor my late sister, a curvy Black woman who died of complications of diabetes and who did not have access to the kind of yoga that helped me control my diabetes and high blood pressure.  These terrible twin epidemics prematurely and disproportionately claim lives in Black and Brown communities.



Research has shown evidence that yoga can reduce the complications of diabetes, high blood pressure, and many chronic health conditions. Sadly it is rarely available to people like my sister.



You can help change that with a GIFT IN ANY AMOUNT TODAY!

You can help make SONYA’S SEQUENCE available in Spanish and English for free to more low-income communities of color!

Your donation will offer a series of free yoga classes (sí, también en español) to patients of federally qualified health centers and community-based organizations that partner with the 501(C)(3) nonprofit that I founded in 2020.  We call it Mandela Yoga Project  - named for Nelson Mandela because yoga can help transcend circumstance

  

We piloted Sonya’s Sequence in 2022 with the aim to scale delivery of trauma-informed yoga to public health crisis communities led by residents themselves? 

  
We wondered if anyone would show up…



Three ways you can help:  1) LIKE the project on Mandela Yoga Project FaceBook page; 2) GIVE - any amount - small, medium, or large;  and, 3) SHARE it on your most influential platform of social media.

All gifts go directly to the nonprofit Mandela Yoga Project, Inc. Please reach out to me on that website for receipt. 

Will you help me share Mandela Yoga’s SONY’S SEQUENCE?https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51606398_1683694730784858_r.jpg"
