Our Core Values:
*Community - We recognize that we are stronger together. We offer a place to hold space for all members of our community.
*Healthy in Mind, Body & Spirit - We encourage a healthy lifestyle for our students, volunteers, and teachers. We offer yoga, meditation, kirtan and other activities that promote wellness in the community.
*Seva Service - Our purpose is to share yoga through compassionate action and stewardship of time, resources, and talents. Our classes are free which allows every individual an opportunity to practice regardless of their ability to pay.
Yoga Moves Us is a Sacramento-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to building a stronger, healthier, and more connected community through free, inclusive wellness programs. Our mission is to provide high-quality yoga and movement-based practices without financial barriers, welcoming all people regardless of age, ability level, experience, or background.
Each year, we serve approximately 15,000 participants through partnerships across the greater Sacramento region, offering accessible community classes that support physical health, mental well-being, and human connection. Our programs include yoga, mindfulness, meditation, Tai Chi, Qigong, Pilates, strength, and mobility classes.
As a 100% volunteer-run organization, Yoga Moves Us exists because of the generosity of volunteer teachers, community partners, and donors who believe wellness should be available to everyone.
Yoga Moves Us is one of the only nonprofit organizations providing free wellness classes at this scale in the Sacramento community. Every class we offer is made possible through volunteers, partnerships, and community support.
Your donation helps sustain and expand free programming by funding:
* Insurance and liability coverage
* City permits and park/community space access
* Yoga mats, blocks, storage, and equipment
* Cleaning and operational supplies
* Administrative and organizational expenses
* Scholarships for future yoga teachers to promote diversity and accessibility in wellness leadership
Volunteer teachers are the heart of our mission, but donations are what keep classes possible. With your support, we can continue creating welcoming spaces where thousands of people can move, heal, and connect—free of charge.
At Yoga Moves Us, we believe wellness is a human right, not a privilege. We are committed to creating an inclusive, diverse, and equitable community where every person feels safe, seen, and at home.
We proudly serve individuals who may not have the financial means, access, or comfort level to participate in traditional studio environments. By removing barriers and bringing classes directly into neighborhoods and public spaces, we help make wellness accessible to all.
We honor the rich diversity of Sacramento and strive to ensure our programs, teachers, and leadership reflect the communities we serve. Together, we are building a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive through movement, mindfulness, and connection.
