Finding Amity Through Community Giving
At Amity Yoga, we believe in nurturing not just our clients but the community as a whole. Each month, we feature a different cause and host a donation-based yoga class to support it. By integrating the support and connections we build in class with meaningful contributions to local initiatives, we embody the true spirit of yoga—creating balance and harmony both within ourselves and in the world around us. Join us in making a difference and strengthening our community together.

Why It Matters
When you donate to the Safe House of Southeast Missouri, your contribution makes a significant impact—helping provide safe refuge, support services, and resources to individuals affected by domestic violence. As the region’s primary domestic violence agency, the Safe House offers shelter, a 24-hour crisis hotline, counseling, and advocacy to countless individuals in need.
All donations collected during this event will go directly to the Safe House, supporting their crucial mission to protect and empower survivors of domestic abuse in Southeast Missouri.
