We want people to get to yoga during this stressful time, so if your ability to do so is hampered by current circumstances, this resource is for you. The values and commitments of the yoga tradition are unambiguous: in yoga, we avoid harm, repair it when it happens, seek and express truth, and share in abundance for the benefit of all beings. In this spirit, we are pleased to announce the Sun & Moon Community Yoga Bank, a repository of free yoga class passes for those with current financial needs.
