YogaVida is a yoga "seva" (service) initiative to bring the physical, emotional and mental benefits of yoga to the Hispanic immigrant community in downtown Phoenix (a large population suffering from high stress, uprootedness, financial and legal worries and, unfortunately, sometimes rejection and discrimination). At the same time, the project extends the practice and benefits of yoga beyond the so

cio-economic area in which it has generally fallen in the first world. The main YogaVida programs are:
1) Weekly adult yoga classes, in Spanish, offered free of charge and with a therapeutic, health focus (underway since October 2013). Held at non-profit partner organizations including Phoenix Allies for Community Health, an inspiring volunteer-run clinic offering no-cost health care to the Hispanic community. Open to all Spanish-speaking adults in the community.
2) Yoga classes at the McDowell Healthcare Center's Spanish-speaking HIV-positive support group (a volunteer-run and funded support group), focusing on pranayama, stress reduction, moderate asana etc. Next on the agenda: find more Spanish-speaking yoga teachers, become a registered non-profit, bring in funding on a small-scale (crowdfunding) and a large-scale (foundation grants). Eventually, perhaps have our own yoga "home"..... Stay tuned!

¡YogaVida, publicada en los redes! Por cierto, si alguien de la comunidad tiene interés en que sus hijos empiecen a descubrir el yoga, ahora mismo estoy haciendo un ciclo de clases para familias (niños 3-10) en la Maryvale Family Health Center (623-344-6955), los lunes de 9h a 10h. ¡Apúntense ya, hay plazos pero quedan pocas semanas! Pasa la voz :)

Currently doing a FAMILY YOGA cycle at Maryvale Family Health Center (623-344-6955), Mondays 9am-10am. There’s room in the class (but only a few weeks left!), so please pass on the info to anyone who might be interested!

This is an interview with Paige Reeves, who launched YogaVida in October 2013 as a non-profit initiative to bring the mental and physical benefits of yoga to the Latino immigrant community in Phoenix, Arizona.

Heart-filled first class with the Spanish-speaking HIV positive support group “Más+”. Unveiling the theory and practice of yoga for a group of many different ages and physical conditions…co-creating a class seasoned with smiles, good-natured groans, and a few satisfied Savasana snores.

Cuánta alegría después de la primera clase de yoga con el Grupo de Apoyo VIH positivo “Más+”. Introducir el yoga, por primerísima vez, a un grupo variopinto en cuanto a edades y condición física, juntos creando una clase llena de sonrisas, gruñidos de buena onda, y algún que otro ronquido.

Looking for teachers/karma yogis!! If you love taking your yoga "off your mat", want to see it benefit different populations, and speak decent Spanish, please see our volunteer job posting on yogactivist.org, or contact us directly. YogaVida is an outreach program bringing the physical and mental benefits of yoga to the downtown Phoenix Latino community. It is incredibly rewarding work, and a chance to "pay forward" our own many blessings. Language and teaching support/training provided. http://yogaactivist.com/node/856

¡Todo encaminado para seguir creciendo en YogaVida! Las clases de yoga (en español) siguen cada semana en Phoenix Allies for Community Health (PACH), y se está en contacto con uno de los centros comunitarios más grandes de Phoenix para dar clases allí. Otro proyecto potencial: sesiones en español sobre técnicas del yoga (respiración, visualización, meditación, asana) para el grupo de apoyo de pacientes con HIV en una clínica del barrio. ¡Vamos allá!

Things are picking up at YogaVida! Still continuing the weekly yoga classes in Spanish at PACH, and in contact with one of the city's largest community centers to teach classes in their facilities. Also discussing holding yogic technique teaching sessions (breathing, visualization, meditation, asana) to a Spanish-speaking HIV-positive support group at a downtown healthcare facility. More to come! x
