Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Yoga Haven
We provide FREE yoga classes led by trained trauma-informed and gender-inclusive yoga teachers to schools and nonprofits, to better serve our collective community.
Yoga programs are custom-tailored to be accessible, inclusive, personable and attuned to the needs of those participating.
Recipient nonprofits or Title 1 schools help by promoting the yoga event and helping to monitor student progress and improvements. The organizations we partner with support our mission by promoting our yoga events and work together with us to collectively measure student progress and improvements as well as continue to enhance our efforts to reduce health disparities.
We work with a range of nonprofits and select Title 1 schools that have the same commitment to serving and supporting people who have been historically marginalized, underserved and under-resourced.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Yoga Haven provides a free yoga program to organizations in Southern Nevada that service victims of sexual, physical and psychological abuse. Our target populations include women, at-risk youth, and young adults, many of who have never had the opportunity to discover the powerful effects of yoga and will benefit immensely from this program. There are numerous organizations to target in Southern Nevada where the yoga program will be offered for free. This includes:
- Foster youth
- Halfway homes
- Centers for abused women & children
- Troubled, at-risk and neglected youth
- Non-profit drug and rehab recovery centers
- Human trafficking rescue centers
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Yoga Haven has been organically raising funds through donation-only yoga classes and fundraising events.
Any contribution is important to the community and leadership of Yoga Haven Las Vegas. Additionally, generous donations are key to the happiness of yoga programs, by making it possible for mission to continue and remain in their lives.
We apply and accept grants from corporations, foundations and government.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Yoga Haven's founders are women with immense passion for yoga and a strong desire to give back to the community. Yoga has a power ability to change a negative mentality into a positive one (regardless of the level of trauma experienced), and they wanted to bring this power to individuals who needed it. The dedication to yoga practice and meditation leads to personal development in truth, consciousness and bliss.
Yoga Haven's program teachers are carefully selected. It takes a special and unique heart to be able to connect the teachings of yoga into the lives of victims of sexual, physical and psychological abuse - teachers who are compassionate, patient, humble and thrive to inspire those who have experienced trauma.
We provide trauma informed yoga training to our teachers.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have provided over 1,858 yoga classes, 47 programs donated and served more than 20,000 under-resourced children, adolescents, and adults in the community.
With adequate funding, Yoga Haven can develop a program and provide space to all organizations in Southern Nevada who serve the at-risk and abused populations.
