What We Do

We are excited to bring Iyengar Yoga to those in need in the Coachella Valley through either our Saturday community classes or our weekly Cancer Survivor classes. 

The therapeutic yoga classes will support those currently undergoing cancer treatment, completing their adjunct therapies or recovering from surgery. A yoga practice should be a targeted offering with a specialized  individual approach for a full recovery. Holly Hoffmann, our senior teacher is a cancer survivor herself and has studied with the most qualified teachers in the world to learn how to adopt a practice to help those students in need to make their recovery complete, and lead a long enjoyable life. 

Our weekly community classes are targeted to individuals that cannot afford to attend a yoga class under regular circumstances. These classes are an introduction to how yoga can help you maintain health and well being of both the body and the mind. Classes are offered both in studio and via Zoom.

All donations help fund these programs. It is our hope that in the future we can expand these offerings to a greater segment of the population in the Coachella Valley and beyond. 

 

Our Mission

To make available the teachings of Iyengar Yoga for the physical, mental, and spiritual health of the people in the Coachella Valley and beyond.

To do this we seek grant funding and donations to provide Iyengar Yoga classes and yoga therapy free of charge for special populations—in the Iyengar Yoga Center Palm Desert studio, other Coachella Valley locations, and via online connection. We are currently seeking funding to provide these classes (in person and via Zoom) free for individuals undergoing treatment for cancer and those recovering from treatment. Partnering with donors and supporters allows our team of teachers and volunteers to support and further develop physical, mental, and spiritual activity classes—along with individualized therapeutic sessions—offered in multiple formats (Zoom live, recorded, and in-person) and at multiple locations.

Your support helps change the lives of recipients at a time when they need it most!
