Transformation Yoga Project partnered with nearly 30 independent yoga studios and community spaces across the Delaware Valley to offer classes during the month of September, which is National Recovery Month.

The aim is to increase awareness and conversation about recovery, and to raise funds for TYP, which serves people impacted by trauma, addiction and incarceration by providing trauma-sensitive, mindfulness-based yoga programs. More than 17,000 individuals have been supported through their services. 

Classes are free but donations of any size are encouraged. No prior yoga experience is needed. Just remember to bring a mat.
