Restorative Compassion Practice for
Community Equity
Friday, October 17
7:00–8:30 PM
With Noel Coakley
In Person at JP Centre Yoga or Live Via ZOOM
Donation Based Fundraiser
Join us for an evening of restorative, compassion-based practice in support of JP Centre Yoga’s Yoga Equity Project.
This donation-based gathering will include grounding practices of loving-kindness (metta), guided reflections on refuge within the field of merit, and simple ways to soften the heart toward ourselves and others. These practices are accessible for everyone, whether you are new to meditation or have years of experience.
All proceeds will directly support two powerful scholarship pathways at JP Centre Yoga:
The JPCY BIPOC Fellowship, which provides full tuition for the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training along with a year of individualized mentorship with JPCY BIPOC teachers before, during, and after the training.
The Increased Access Scholarship, which provides full tuition for one trainee dedicated to bringing yoga into under-resourced communities that may not otherwise have access.
By practicing together, we not only rest and reconnect, but also create opportunities for future teachers who will carry yoga into new spaces and communities.
All are welcome. Every donation, of any amount, directly supports these scholarships.
