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
Mental health challenges affect individuals, families, and entire communities, yet stigma and financial barriers often prevent people from seeking the help they need. The Community Counseling Center Foundation bridges this gap by providing critical support services, including:
- Counseling scholarships for individuals and families unable to afford care.
- Crisis intervention programs that offer immediate assistance to those in need.
- Outreach and education to reduce stigma and promote mental wellness.
By participating in Breathe+Balance, you’re directly contributing to these life-changing initiatives, empowering others to find hope, healing, and balance.
