Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The idea for Yoga Day Foundation began in 2011 when Carlos Gomez (Yoga Day's founder) was approached by Univision to teach weekly, free, public yoga classes at Woodlawn Lake Park. This experience opened Carlos' eyes to the reality of many San Antonians: poor diet and high stress, combined with little to no exercise that results in declining health. This awareness led him to strive to bring the benefits of yoga to underserved people of all ages in San Antonio.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Good Samaritan Senior Services

This is Yoga Day's oldest running program. We have been teaching yoga at the GSSS for over 3 years. The classes are taught in a chair since a significant number of the attendees are disabled. This group is predominantly Hispanic, many non English-speakers, so this class is taught in English and Spanish. Our main goal is to help people regain and maintain their strength as well as range of motion in their joints. Additionally we present yoga as a tool to manage emotional stress.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Yoga can be very effective in reducing and sometimes eliminating chronic pain as well as the most common health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems, asthma, migraines, and arthritis. It is a proven stress reducer, requires mental discipline, and can be a useful tool for children and adults alike that deal with stress-related problems or, inability to focus.

Yoga Day believes that yoga is truly a universal and safe path towards regaining health. Yoga is accessible to anyone and can be practiced almost anywhere.

Yoga Day has already expanded its network of schools and senior centers across the city. Currently, our demand is greater than our ability to provide classes to all request. Our teachers provide classes at a minimal rate and with more funding we have the capability to tap into the local yoga community to provide these services.

WHAT WE'VE ACHIEVED

5,045 participants in Yoga Day classes for 2016

Yoga Day currently teaches yoga at schools in JISD, FSISD, KIPP and SAISD
