What we do

Many of our society's most complex and enduring problems, including homelessness, alcohol and drug addiction, gun violence and rising su***de rates among youth and veterans, share common underlying causal factors: stress, trauma and fear. With resources to address these issues stretched thin, it is increasingly crucial to target these underlying factors. Amazingly, there is one set of practices that are proven to do just that: mindfulness practices of yoga, meditation, breath work. The Namaspa Foundation is focused on bringing those practices to those in our society who can benefit from them most, yet who may currently have the least access. Join us in empowering these individuals to gain the life skills realize their full potential.

Namaspa has been a leader in the Central Oregon yoga community since 2007, with a commitment to bringing volunteer yoga classes to local homeless shelters, rehab facilities and schools. Now, though the Namaspa Foundation, it will be possible to meet the growing needs of the community while providing a living wage for teachers, ultimately creating new jobs and helping to address some of the underlying issues of disempowerment: stress, fear, anxiety, trauma, self-doubt and depression.
