Hello Friends, Family and Collegues,

As you know, I am the founder of yogaHOPE, a non-profit yoga outreach organization that establishes rehabilitative yoga programs in facilities for underserved women in subtance abuse treatment, victims of domestic violence and poor and homeless women.

Since it's inception 2 and a half years ago, we have place programs in dozens of facilities and helped hundreds of women!  We are now entering an exciting phase of research and data collection so that we may see more clearly how yoga is helping these women!

This, of course, takes staff and funding and we really can't do it WITHOUT YOUR HELP! Saluting the Spirit is a fundraiser in which supporters from all over Boston raise money for yogaHOPE and Pathways to Wellness

This is the fundraiser that we rely on the most to support or organization, so any amount that you can give would go a long, long way in helping us continue our important work.

$15-$25 = helps us provide on class for one woman at their residential facility

$50-$100 = helps us provide mats, workbooks and other support materials for yogaHOPE classes.

$100-$200 = helps us helps us provide one month of classes for one women who could greatly benefit from yogaHOPE's therapeutic yoga program.


$500-$1000 = helps us recruit and train volunteers to teach our populations from a place of authenticity and compassion during our 24 week yoga program to ensure the best possible outcome for transformation and healing.

$1200-$2400 = helps us support our students, facilities and our volunteer teaching team to ensure that the yogaHOPE program has longevity and success long after our women leave their residential facilities.
