Funding Spotlight: Three and a Half Acres Yoga
In May, Stonewall’s Emergency Response Fund made a grant to Three and a Half Acres Yoga (THAY), an organization that uses yoga and meditation to build bridges in communities.
THAY’s instructors use a trauma-informed approach to make yoga accessible and safe for those who have experienced oppression and trauma. Through their grant from Stonewall, THAY was able to bring yoga classes to other Stonewall grantee partners, including New Alternatives and The Center. Kate Barnhart said that THAY’s “approach has been the most successful at engaging our young people and making them feel comfortable enough to participate.” During these increasingly stressful times, we are proud to help community members find ways to breathe more deeply.
