DAYA Foundation Delivering Accessible Yoga Alternatives We bring yoga to prisons, hospitals, schools, and rehab centers. We also teach medically-sensitive yoga.

We provide 200-hour yoga teacher trainings to incarcerated adults, establishing yoga teachers on the inside who can teach yoga to other inmates with developmental delays, traumatic brain injuries, or mental illnesses. We recognize that facing a period of medical vulnerability, illness, injury, post-operative rehabilitation, or progressive illness is a time when the practices of yoga become even more critical. Our public health issues, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, obesity, cardiovascular and heart diseases, and other culturally ubiquitous chronic illnesses, can be greatly aided by yoga. Yet many people feel too intimidated to walk into a yoga studio, think yoga is a luxury item, or have the perception that yoga is for “other people.” The DAYA Foundation aims to reach out to these persons and is developing programming to make yoga more accessible to and inclusive of them. The DAYA Foundation is founded on these essential principles:

- Yoga teaches fundamental life skills.
- These life skills transform our mental and physical health.
- These life skills make us better individuals, family members, and community members.
- All members of our community deserve access to the life-enhancing practices of yoga.
- All members of our community have something to teach us about life, human suffering, and human potential.
- When community is created, healing happens, for it re-knits our experience of belonging.

It's Giving Tuesday! Please join us in supporting the Rebuilding and Revisioning of Breitenbush Hot Springs.

This rebuild is about so much more than cabins... We're in it for the opportunities for climate awareness, BIPOC initiatives, mentoring younger community members, and being mentored by them, as society needs to make major shifts in how we relate, steward, support, heal, consume, repair, and so much more.

We've chosen Breitenbush as our project for fundraising and we hope you will too!

As we rebuild and revision Breitenbush for the restoration of the land and the return of retreats and accommodations for our guests, we must include the indigenous people who still reside here and the ecological wisdom they already embody, shares Christina White.

Christina is an indigenous woman, a plant medicine healer, an international health educator, a mom, a member of the DAYA Foundation community, and she is in training to become a yoga therapist. She aspires to lead indigenous healing events at Breitenbush with her sister, Jackie, and their mother, Cecilia. Christina's feels the power of nature at Breitenbush is potent and essential for healing the web of life, of which each of us is a part.
