Madison Outdoor Yoga
a 501(c)3 Nonprofit
In 2013 I had this crazy idea to teach free yoga in the parks around Madison, WI to anyone who came out. Madison Outdoor Yoga started with a borrowed meetup group, a couple of mats and the idea that everyone should have access to yoga and other mindfulness practices. I made the classes free/donation based so that cost would never be an issue. We host in different parks around Madison to ensure that access to transportation is not be a barrier. We also try to schedule classes at a time that would work for the most people.
I realized through the years that more was needed to allow everyone access to yoga and mindfulness. I believe that classes should be affordable, that everyone should be able to participate, and that students should be able to find teachers that shared their culture, language, and life experiences.
​
I have finally realized my dream of creating Madison Outdoor Yoga with the intent to further accessible yoga practices.
