Teaching yoga to underserved and at-risk communities can have a lasting positive impact on the world. Learn how Light A Path (LAP), based in Asheville, North Carolina, is bringing yoga, meditation, strength training and running to youth, the incarcerated, the unhoused, low-income community residents, and those in recovery.
“Yoga is the one hour a week where I could separate myself from all of the head noise, failures, and disgraces–and everything that just kept playing over, and over, and over again– and actually exist within myself. That was major for me.” – LAP service user
***If you’re a teacher who wants to share yoga outside of traditional yoga spaces, this program, which features Light A Path’s work, can help you get started. CLICK HERE: http://bit.ly/LAPyoga ***
You’ll meet LAP teachers, gain valuable insights from their years of experience, hear firsthand testimonials from LAP students, and receive sample classes that were filmed for three specific populations: older students, people in prison, and people in recovery.
The mission of LAP is to “create resilience through connection.” If you feel a call to use your teaching to make a positive and lasting impact in your community, begin here.
