Through the Institute, we are able to bring Iyengar Yoga to the students of all levels from Beginner to Advanced as well as offer programming to support our community, this includes our free-of-charge programming.
In 2023, we served close to 4,200 students adding up to almost 50,000 visits, 9% of these visits were from our scholarships and free of charge offerings. Additionally, in 2023, we began our Teacher Education Program and Continuing Education Workshops, for the first time in over two years, to serve CIYTs and aspiring teachers. Several of those participants also receive needs based assistance from IYAGNY.
Donate today and help us continue the operation of our Institute as well as our free-of-charge programming and scholarships.
