The Community Yoga Outreach Project (CYOP) provides free yoga classes at various critical locations around the Detroit area. More and more research studies are beginning to show that inner-city youth benefit greatly from yoga. Yoga helps provide much needed stress relief for children who deal with poverty, family drug addiction, and sexual abuse on a daily basis. Yoga is also an excellent alternative to medication for hyper-active youth. It is our hope to provide under-privileged youth, among other special populations, the skills to cope with stress, learn to take care of themselves, and focus their attention.
CYOP supports it's volunteer teachers by providing yoga mats and matching them to a Karma Yoga project that fits their areas of interest.
CYOP provides yoga teachers to our outreach partners in two ways :
Volunteers: CYOP matches qualified yoga teachers seeking the rewarding experience of a Karma Yoga project to an outreach partner.
Work Exchange: Yoga 4 Peace sponsors 1-2 scholarship students per teacher training session. Our scholarship students agree to do work exchange for the training in one of our outreach locations.
If you are a deserving organization and would like to provide yoga for your special population, please fill out our Outreach Partner Application
If you are a Yoga Teacher, can pass a background check and are interested in volunteering at one of our Outreach Partner locations please fill out our Outreach Teacher Application
