Practice with Purpose--Unite Against Sex Trafficking

There's a purpose to your practice beyond your own health and well-being.

It's time to show it.

We're rallying our local yoga tribe to join in with the Yoga Freedom Project, a global initiative to educate and rasie money for The Somaly Mam Foundation, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking.

 Since Portland has a serious problem with sex trafficking, we're hosting the YFP-PDX event to show that our community of passionate yogis and yoginis is committed to taking a stand from our mats to affect local and global change.

And since we love local, part of the proceeds from YFP-PDX will also be donated to Janus Youth, the organization that runs the only shelter for survivors of sex trafficking who are minors here in Portland.

So in addition to knowing that the money from your ticket is going to support some major good in your community and in the world, know that your ticket also buys you your place among hundreds of other yogis and yoginis in an inspiring all-levels practice taught by Jay Fields, Sarah Robinette, Lisa Mae Osborn and Alison Alstrom.

Along with yoga, there will also be poetry, music and film clips to connect you to the purpose of your practice, as well as survivors and local organizations speaking about their experience and offering a call to action.

Our community needs us--it's time to reach out as we stretch.
