Get Your Yoga Studio Involved
Getting your studio involved in our project is an amazing way to practice your yoga on a community level.
By helping to give back to their communities, yoga students can directly experience the rewards of Karma Yoga (or self-less service) and can feel the connection between their individual journeys of self-transformation and how that personal work can have a positive impact on others.
For more information on how your studio can make a difference, please contact us.

Help with Research
We believe it is really important to explore the benefits of teaching yoga and meditation to youth as well as to investigate the effectiveness of our programs.
New Leaf Yoga Foundation is working to develop a research committee which will dedicate itself to carrying out this part of our mission.
If you are a yoga or meditation instructor already working with at-risk or incarcerated youth and would like to get involved by participating in our research initiatives, contact us to find out more.
If you are skilled at creating and implementing research methods, or are conducting related academic research, please contact us for more information.
