Yoga for the People is a grassroots, volunteer-run organization that relies on the support of the yoga community. We match volunteer instructors with nonprofit community providers who help unserved, underserved or at-risk people and provide community-based donation only classes. In addition, YFP provides support and education for yoga teachers choosing the path of yoga in service to those in need.
