What is Yoga Reaches Out?

YRO brings the yoga community together to raise funds for children’s charities. It was founded by personal trainer and yogi Sarah Gardner of Wayland, Massachusetts. In the fall of 2010 YRO held its first Yogathon at Gillette Stadium’s Field House in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Close to 500 yogis practiced yoga in the New England Patriot’s training facility. Over $225,000 was raised for Children’s Hospital Boston and Yoga For Single Moms. Under one roof, men and women of all levels enjoyed a day of yoga, music, and fundraising. One of the guiding principles of Yoga Reaches Out is "seva," the Sanskrit word for "selfless service." Through your support, we will use yoga to create seva and help children in need.

It is our mission to bring the yoga community together to create seva (selfless service). Through the gift of yoga, Yoga Reaches Out focuses on raising funds for organizations that impact the health, education, and well-being of children.
