A Health Promotion Strategy
Yoga
Promotores Training
Yoga Promotores is a Community Education Outreach Initiative to educate the community about the benefits of Yoga and Yoga Therapy and train Spanish- speaking students to teach Yoga within community-based organizations, as a health promotion strategy. Our programs present Yoga as a universal, holistic system of self-care and a means of personal empowerment.
Program participants will learn time-tested skills to improve physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as the sound methodology to share these tools with others. Yoga Promotores initiatives not only improve the health of individual participants and community members but also offers a means of economic advancement for program graduates.

A Life Changing Experience
Program participants spend hundreds of hours immersed in the study and practice of Yoga as self-care. They learn how to integrate time tested practices into their personal lives to improve physical, mental and emotional health. Out of direct experience, they begin to find their voice as teachers and share best practices with their friends, families, communities and students.
Yoga is a practice of self-reflection
and self-refinement
