YOGA FOR GOOD - NONPROFITS RAISE FUNDS TO CREATE CHANGE

Part II: The Yoga Series Continues How can we change the world? Let me count the ways! Just as I thought I was forging new ground on Yoga and Nonprofits, a source sends me a lead on a group called " Yoga For Good ". Guess I haven't killed my ego just yet. Check out the PaloAlto Online story: Bad Girls Doing Time Learn Art of Yoga for a story of how yoga is transforming the lives of incarcerated girls. Another program helping incarcerated youth and at-risk teens and "transitional age youth" GETTING OUT BY GOING IN © is a non-profit organization that educates and rehabilitates incarcerated and at-risk individuals by providing essential tools needed to make stronger decisions.

Love and attention, take the kids out of the hood and show them that there is something else than that hopeless hole."- E.A.C. Technor
