Partnership Program

Each quarter at Harlem Yoga Studio, we work with a partner in Harlem, the greater NYC area, or nationally that is dedicated to enhancing the equality, peace, and well-being of our larger Community. With input from you, we choose organizations whose missions are  aligned with our values of community, connection, accessibility, and wellness.  Through our Community Classes and partnership program, we bring awareness of these amazing organizations, and as a sangha donate 20% of the proceeds from our  Community Classes. Starting in 2019 we count on YOU to help us choose a partner.  Know of a wonderful organization that could use some additional attention and funds – be sure to let us know, and nominate them in Q3!!
