A non-profit dedicated to providing yoga for trauma to survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

10/03/2026

Domestic Violence (DV) is commonly referred to as Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Intimate partner violence alone affects more than 12 million people in the US every year.

We can’t let the needs of survivors get pushed to the sidelines. Immediate care usually involves shelter, safety and various means of support. When the person is ready, yoga has the potential to uplift, comfort and encourage people who have experienced domestic and/or sexual violence. These kinds of trauma are so disruptive and harmful, on multiple levels. Yoga allows trauma survivors a chance to do a practice that really addresses the “whole” individual.

Folks who come to our classes keep telling us how much they love them and how much they get out of it. One thing that surprises most is the community that is gained 💚

Join us on tomorrow, Sunday, October 4th, for our next in person class in NYC. Class is free and you can sign up at our link.

We stand with our community at this time with news outlets everywhere talking about this story. The retelling and even listening to folks advocating for the victim can be upsetting and triggering to say the very least. We are sharing this post from RAINN to share their support capabilities, if you need it 💚

RAINN

We know more than ever before about how to prevent sexual violence and support survivors.

So why are schools failing them?

🚫 We don’t need another “accountability essay.” Another excuse. Another reason why “nothing could be done.”

📣 We need 1 million voices saying: 📣

Add your voice!

🪷With 🪬 P a u 🪬

**Balance Arts Center is located at 151 West 30th Street in Manhattan.

Please join us for a 50 minute long practice of yoga for trauma. Through yoga asana, we explore movement that feels good, okay, or “less bad” in our bodies.

Many of these practices help restore a sense of agency and being “safe enough” in our bodies. You can choose your own adventure and take the practice at your own pace. We aim to leave the space feeling more centered, relaxed, and present. Rest and breaks are encouraged, and you can always leave the space if you need to.

Healing happens with consistency 🌻

This is true, and know that consistency looks different for everyone. It can be a dedicated 2 or 3 days a week, or everyday. And every week can look different as well. Stuff happens, schedules get hectic, consistency also looks like getting back on track every time we lose our momentum for a bit.

Consistency is easier when we are gentle with ourselves 🌱

Find practices and ways of being in nature that offer restoration. Walking or just being outside can also be incredibly soothing.
