How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Community-Led Healing Through Lived Experiencemethodology: trauma-informed-community-ledBy training and deploying community members with lived experience of trauma to deliver yoga services, the organization ensures culturally authentic, trauma-informed care because shared experience builds trust and reduces power imbalances in service delivery.
- Karma Yoga as a Theory of Changemethodology: karma_yogaBy practicing selfless service without attachment to outcomes (karma yoga), individuals and communities experience transformative change because this intentional, spiritually grounded action cultivates inner peace, interconnectedness, and collective healing.
- Mutual Liberation Through Servicemethodology: mutual-liberation-through-serviceBy framing service as a reciprocal relationship rooted in shared humanity rather than saviorism, the organization fosters authentic engagement because both giver and receiver are liberated through the act of service.
- Root Cause Intervention for Sustainable Changemethodology: root-cause interventionBy focusing on systemic drivers such as violence, resource inequity, and care gaps, the organization creates lasting impact because addressing underlying causes leads to more sustainable community transformation than symptom-focused interventions.
- Values-Aligned Grantmakingmethodology: values-aligned grantmakingBy aligning grantmaking with shared values between sponsors and communities, the organization strengthens engagement and impact because funding is more likely to be sustained and culturally resonant when rooted in mutual belief systems.
