All proceeds from this class will support to sustain and grow our IYISF Community Outreach Program, which offers free or low-cost yoga and meditation held in culturally accessible locations to support domestic workers, day laborers, mothers-to-be, young adults with disabilities, and seniors in achieving better health through movement and mindfulness.
The program began to develop in 2022 with a free, six-week yoga series in Spanish for domestic workers, led by Integral Yoga teacher Andreína Maldonado. It was sponsored by IYISF, the San Francisco Day Labor Program, the Women’s Collective, and Dance Mission Theater.
In 2023, the program blossomed with support from grants and private donors. In 2024, it expanded to include Accessible Yoga classes for young adults with disabilities, in partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD).
Now in 2025, the program continues to grow thanks to fundraising and grants from Livongo Health, Working Theory Foundation, Give Back Yoga Foundation, and Lululemon’s Here to Be Foundation, and with community partners such as the Alliance for Social and Economic Justice Center, Community Well, Casa Doulas Center, San Francisco Women’s Building, and Access SFUSD. By 2026, it aims to offer postnatal yoga and chair yoga classes for seniors—all in Spanish.
By addressing barriers such as language, culture, cost, and transportation, the IYISF Community Outreach Program fosters inclusive, healing-centered spaces for underserved communities.
