Grateful Spirit Yoga Opening!
Donation protected
I have been offered Grateful Spirit Yoga, a movement and integral healing studio, located in Atascadero, CA.
I am seeking supportive funds to open the doors under my direction on April 1, 2018.
$2000 is immediately needed by April 1, 2018 to cover the first month's expenses.
We will provide classes and workshops in San Luis Obispo County to empower self-care and positive community engagement for all.
GoFundMe takes 3% of your donation.
To donate privately, please send your contribution directly payable to Brooke West
PO Box 6135, Los Osos, CA 93412.
This PayPal link might also work.
Please contact me with questions.
UNIQUE SOCIAL ACTIVISM &
COMMUNITY HEALTH
There are folks who need scholarships to access Yoga and a welcoming environment.
I am planning both fee-based classes, workshops and trainings and I hope to offer free or funded Yoga provided to special, targeted populations in an effort to reach the underserved in our community.
Therapeutic Scholarship recipients will contribute to a body of research by completing self-reported assessments to document and measure the results of their practices on well-being. This gesture will provide data to be used in outreach to promote wellness within our community and beyond. As you may know, I am an invited lecturer at international conferences and reach people far and wide.
This program will be offered as administration and funds are available, provided by the generosity of donors and supported by the community and GSY resources. I envision Therapeutic Scholarship fundraising as Phase Two of this campaign.
A GENEROUS BOON!
GSY is an unexpected gift that I did not expect to receive. I had not prepared to be given a business this spring. I would be honored to take the reins with your assistance.
PLAY!
For the past couple of years, Grateful Spirit has been my favorite studio from which to teach.
Grateful Spirit is a fully functional, 700+-square foot Yoga studio. It is beautiful, cozy, and quiet... perfect for resting, and contemplation.
Hanging from the ceiling are five restorative aerial yoga hammock swings! Fun!

COLLABORATIVE
I have already consulted with local human service agencies which are interested in a co-operative venture to develop community Yoga and meditation services, including www.restorativepartners.org. They bring Yoga and meditation into County Jail, The Honor Farm and Juvenile Hall in SLO County. They need re-entry programs for yogis to integrate into the community. Grateful Spirit would like to offer supportive programming.
EMPOWERING
Gentle Yoga can be a powerful and effective re-entry for people recovering from crisis. My life is living proof, thanks to the power of Yoga. Yoga changes mood, improves immunity and expands consciousness. This benefits everyone!
I facilitate and witness peace overcome pain in every class that I teach.
People recover, little by little, and, sometimes, in great strides.
"YES, I SUPPORT THIS!"

EXPONENTIALLY GRATEFUL, EXPONENTIAL SPIRIT
To share is sweetness.
For students living on disability, who face the household budget challenges of living with illness, or for those living on a fixed income due to medical conditions - for all those who are generally underserved - a Yoga class may be a life changing gift.
THANK YOU!
Many people have been extraordinarily supportive of my pioneering work. I know who you are. I have been invited into your homes, I have wept with you. I have laughed and relaxed with you. We all know that stress management services are needed, now more than ever. Thank you for continuing to encourage me to follow my purpose and joy with your loving support.
I'd love to have a home where people could find peace for themselves.
Located behind Healthy Inspirations, there is plenty of parking and both the founder, Alyssa Slater, and the landlord, Bob Newberg, are easy-going and kind.
This December, six people asked me if I offered weekly classes anywhere. Four of them, I had never met.
We need more fun. We need more peace.
Please consider giving an open gift.
Incentives and rewards are available!
