Mission Statement
Yoga Gardens NFP is a women-founded not-for-profit organization that began in Chicago. Our goal is to aid and uplift communities in impoverished Chicago neighborhoods by teaching & practicing peace, and by making healthy and nutritious foods available. Through yoga, meditation, healthier food options, and beautifying the neighborhood, we relieve stress and disease in areas where these difficulties are most prevalent. Yoga Gardens NFP board members and Trustees are professionals in various fields but are all yogis at heart. As yogis, we collectivity believe that it is our responsibility to give back to our community, and Yoga Gardens makes it our mission to do so.
About This Cause
We revitalize vacant lots in developing residential areas, which often accumulate garbage, attract criminal activity, and ultimately become a burden on the residents. Yoga Gardens transforms each lot into a thriving yoga & gardening community space. Our board members assemble groups of local volunteers to participate in constructing and maintaining the lot. Hundreds of native plants such as bees and butterflies attracting flowers, trees, and large shrubs are embedded and encompass the lot. Raised beds are constructed for a fruit and vegetable garden, as well as a wooden deck for the teaching and practice of yoga. Together and through a true grassroots effort, we transform a lot into a garden and yoga center for residents to use throughout the spring, summer, and early fall.
