Yoga For A Cause - events that make a difference!
Yoga for a Cause events are locally-focused, non-political and no-religious. Always fun!
Proceeds support the Cause.
Yoga For A Cause was created because I have a passion to help people, especially within my own community. But alone, I feel my impact is small.
As a community, our impact can bring about change.
Would like to have a booth or sponsor our events? email us!
We are always looking for new ideas, new Causes, and new ways to support them.

Yoga For A Cause (coloradoyogaforacause.org) was born in March 2012 when a mother in my neighborhood reached out because her son had been diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. Medical expenses were piling up, and she needed help. I didn't know her personally, and didn't feel that I alone could contribute much, and I reflected on so many people who are in a similar situation, needing help but afraid to ask, and how we as a society have grown so distant even though we are neighbors. From there, I considered how deeply important community is. And my community, my kula, is full of yogis who want to help if you
just ask them.
A quote from Margaret Mead inspired my first event:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; Indeed, it's the
only thing that ever has."
That quote continues to inspire and give life to my vision of Yoga For A Cause, and what it could be. As
individuals, as separate beings, our influence is small. But as a whole community, as one, we can move
mountains!
Summer 2012 I hosted six events for various organizations, including the Chanda Plan
Foundation and one for Colorado Wildfire Relief.
For the Summer 2013 season, I wanted to make a greater impact, and realizing again that as one my impact only goes so far, but as a community we can do so much more, Natasha joined me in renewing YFAC! We decided to focus on one organization, The Gathering Place (www.tgpdenver.org) as the recipient of our donations, and have reached out to three established studios in the Denver area, well-known instructors and musicians, to design three main events. For these events, 70% of ticket sales will be donated directly to The Gathering Place with a season goal of $5000.
We have also been honored by a few other donation-based yoga communities, Sunset Yoga and Bhakti Yoga Breakfast Club, who have committed their summer seasons to Yoga For A Cause. Generosity abounds, and I am truly delighted and honored to see it become a reality!
