Our Story
The Sattva Project began when a group of yoga practitioners, united by their experiences with trauma, incarceration, and addiction, envisioned a way to enhance access to yoga for those who would benefit the most.
Through collaboration with nonprofit leaders, recovery professionals, and community advocates, that vision took root and became a reality. Today, the Sattva Project offers weekly yoga classes in partnership with organizations that support individuals impacted by trauma, incarceration, and addiction. With continued growth on the horizon—including free community classes and new partnerships—we remain committed to expanding access to healing, connection, and inner transformation through yoga. The Sattva Project is rooted in this belief: that everyone deserves the opportunity to return to their true nature and experience a sense of wholeness.
Our Mission
To make yoga accessible to all–fostering healing, harmony, community, and personal transformation.
Our Vision
We envision a world where yoga is truly accessible to all. Rooted in authenticity, compassion, connection, and belonging, we create welcoming spaces for individuals to reconnect with their true selves, cultivate self-love, and build meaningful relationships. Through free and “give what you can” yoga classes in jails, rehabilitation centers, day reporting centers, and under-resourced communities, we offer tools for stress relief, resilience, and self-discovery. By nurturing both personal empowerment and collective well-being, we support every individual’s journey toward inner peace and a more connected, compassionate world.
