Mission Statement
At TLC Yoga we believe that compassionate care in an inclusive environment leads to surprising connections and a positive shift in the wellbeing of our neighbors experiencing homelessness. The goal of each yoga class is for students to leave in an improved physical, mental and emotional state from when they arrived.
About This Cause
TLC Yoga began in 2020 as a small yoga class for unhoused individuals led by Ashley Erwin at Mercy Church in Atlanta. Ashley kept showing up, developing relationships and offering the service. Over time, students started trickling in, and the class evolved into a more specialized and unique offering focused on care and connection. Ashley started the nonprofit in order to offer these types of yoga classes to different communities of individuals experiencing homelessness and those transitioning out of homelessness. In fall of 2023 she started another weekly class in a new community in Southeast Atlanta! We provide yoga and meditation to individuals experiencing homelessness. Our yoga classes allow overlooked individuals to devote time to self care — a rare opportunity when you’re living outside. We practice meditation techniques for mental clarity, movement to relieve bodily tension and resting poses to aid in overall relaxation. Simply getting to the yoga class is a huge step for many of our students. No matter the level of participation, we witness small transformations each time they join class. And we ensure that each student leaves the class in a better state than when they arrived.
