Thanksgiving Hatha Yoga Benefit.
The Integral Yoga Institute of San Francisco will host a Thanksgiving morning Hatha Yoga class to benefit the Community Outreach Program. As we move through our Yoga practice, we will focus on gratitude and the profound effects that cultivating gratitude can have in our lives.
All proceeds from this class will support to sustain and grow our Integral Yoga Institute Community Outreach Program, which offers free or low-cost Yoga and meditation held in culturally accessible locations to support domestic workers, day laborers, mothers-to-be, young adults with disabilities, and seniors in achieving better health through movement and mindfulness.
The program began to develop in 2022 with a free, six-week Yoga series in Spanish for domestic workers, led by Integral Yoga teacher Andreina Maldonado. It was sponsored by Integral Yoga Institute of San Francisco, the San Francisco Day Labor Program, the Women’s Collective, and Dance Mission Theater. In 2023, the program blossomed with support from grants and private donors. In 2024, it expanded to include Accessible Yoga classes for young adults with disabilities, in partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD).
Now in 2026, the program continues to grow thanks to fundraising and grants from Livongo Health, Working Theory Foundation, Give Back Yoga Foundation, and Lululemon’s Here to Be Foundation, and with community partners such as the Alliance for Social and Economic Justice Center, Community Well, Casa Doulas Center, San Francisco Women’s Building, and Access SFUSD. It aims to further offer postnatal Yoga and chair Yoga classes for seniors—all in Spanish.
By addressing barriers such as language, culture, cost, and transportation, the Integral Yoga Institute’s Community Outreach Program fosters inclusive, healing-centered spaces for underserved communities.
