Yoga & Mindfulness

Project Yoga’s mission is to bring the healing and therapeutic benefits of yoga and mindfulness to underserved communities.

Our vision is to empower populations with the coping skills that cultivate peace and resiliency to build healthy, safe, and thriving communities.

Project Yoga is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and breathing exercises to people in the Greater Cincinnati region who have never been exposed to these practices, allowing them to experience the emotional and physical well-being that can result. We are pleased to be part of Cincinnati's movement towards a whole-person approach to mental health, wellness, physical strength, and resiliency.

Yoga postures are challenging--even the simplest ones build strength, flexibility, and resiliency from the inside out.

Our certified yoga teachers teach breathing techniques, showing how the act of breathing mirrors how we feel. We teach how to be patient and gentle with ourselves and how to practice the skill of mindfulness. How to respond rather than react to difficult emotions, pain and stress. To us, learning how to stand on one foot isn’t as important as learning how to fall and get back up.

“I support Project Yoga because I believe in the transformative power yoga can have on one’s physical body, mind and ultimately one’s soul. Teaching others the process of fully inhabiting themselves and life leads to a simple presence. Being present, open, relaxed and aware serves as the foundation for compassion and wisdom to emerge from within us.”
— Karen Grass, Project Yoga Supporter

We create relationships with individuals and groups committed to cooperation and social responsibility.

COMPASSION

We seek to understand through intentional listening, empathize with our student’s realities, and respond with programming tailored to meet individual, group, and community-specific needs.

EQUITY

We believe that all people should have access to the healing and therapeutic benefits of yoga.

“Yoga meets you where you are. Every time. Good days and tough days. It is perhaps the most forgiving and welcoming form of physical and mental activity. I support Project Yoga because I know that bringing this practice to children, adults and seniors is giving them a moment of peace. It is both calming and energizing. It gives people time and space and permission to quiet the mind and move the body. It builds strength of both mind and body.  That is the power of Project Yoga.”
— Kitsa Rhoad, project yoga supporter
