Mental Health Resources 4 Underserved Communities

Hi y'all!

Thanks for continuing to be here and support the Yoga 4 Change mission.  As you know, we collect quatitative and qualitative data before and after every class we teach.  Our amazing research team, Dr. Danielle Rousseau and Dr. Jennifer Wyatt Bourgeois, evaluate the data every quarter.  Attached you will find the full Quarter 3 report.  Here is a short summary:

From July 1, 2022 - September 30, 2022, Yoga 4 Change taught 4,210 individuals across the state of Florida.  Among the self-reported data acquired from participants, we found that there was an average 19% increase in mood, 30% decrease in stress and 20% decrease in physical pain.  This is after ONE Yoga 4 Change class!  That impact is tremendous, and it's because of your gracious support that we can continue to impact communities across Florida.  

A quote from a Yoga 4 Change participant in recovery in South Florida:

"I decided to participate in the Yoga 4 Change classes at a facility I went to in order to help me with my mental health. I was totally shocked how it helped me be grounded, gave me a way to stop thinking and release all the baggage (trauma, heart break & self-hate) I have carried for most of my life. This experience helped me learn to love myself and to just let go. My 1st session I cried like a baby. IT WORKS!! I will continue to participate in the programs they offer. Im excited to introduce it to my stressed out husband!! Yoga 4 Change helped me more than they will ever know. I will be forever grateful! "
