Welcome to Project Yoga
Project Yoga is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting mental health and physical well-being in Greater Cincinnati’s underserved communities through trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness.
Who We Are
At Project Yoga, we believe in the transformative power of movement and breath. Through these practices, we spread the ripple effect of kindness, peace, and compassion. Our trauma-informed programs nurture mental health, physical strength, and a sense of connection.

Over 50,000 individuals in Greater Cincinnati have learned the practice of yoga and mindfulness from Project Yoga.
Week in and week out, our certified instructors show up in schools, shelters, and community centers with practices that build strength, peace, and resilience.
Empowerment through movement and mindfulness.
Every Project Yoga class offers tools for resilience, regulation, and healing. In a safe, supportive space, children learn to calm their minds, strengthen their bodies, and express emotions in healthy ways. Through breath, movement, and mindfulness, we help young people build confidence, restore balance, and feel empowered in their own skin.
“The people we serve each have a story. We’re not there to add to their stories. We’re there to teach the practices of yoga and mindfulness expertly. And we’ll be back— week in, week out.”
