Support Ame's Maternity Fund

Life can be complicated, and new life is sometimes even more complicated. Our dear friend, teacher & mentor Ame and her baby are having a complicated time right now. And the complications are impacting her ability to do what she loves to do most - to teach us yoga! Which is consequently impacting her income from yoga and from her other teaching work.

So take a minute and think back to Boston Yoga School (or wherever you first connected) and the difference that Ame made in your life. Think back, as I have been in recent days, to the lifeboat she created that kept so many of us afloat during the stormy seas of the pandemic. There were classes six days a week for a really long time, and I know I never did as much yoga as I did in those pandemic years, nor ever paid as little per class. Everything came in waves in those years and BYS Online was a lifeboat that kept my physical, mental and spiritual health from going overboard. And many of you were in that lifeboat with me. Our numbers surged on the big, bad days of 2020, 2021, and 2022 and 2023 when we needed comfort, community and respite. Ame was generous in charging us a rate that made it much more accessible.

Now she needs us and I hope we can be generous in return, if you can please contribute here.

And if you want to give in other ways, please do get in touch with us. For example, you could take or even teach a BYS Online class, or contribute to helping with other work to keep this little business ticking over.
