Empowered people. Connected minds. Transformed lives.

Transformation Yoga Project has been significantly impacted by the coronavirus, and much of our trauma-sensitive programming is on hold.

We have created a library of free online yoga practices and guided meditations on our YouTube Channel. A big thank you to everyone who participated in our live virtual community offerings! It was truly incredible to connect and share with one another.
