My Comunidad Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization and yoga studio passionately devoted to fostering equitable access to yoga in underserved communities while honoring yoga’s roots. Going beyond physical postures, we view yoga, including meditation and mindfulness, as a universal wellness resource that should be accessible to all regardless of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability, or any other background. Our primary mission is to create a yoga space that is not only equitable and inclusive but also easily accessible, serving as a crucial tool for mental health and personal empowerment while also respecting and preserving its cultural roots.
Recognizing the common disparity in wellness spaces, often concentrated in more affluent areas with classes costing $20 or more, we strive to challenge this norm. We firmly believe that the benefits of yoga should not be limited by socioeconomic status (SES) and are dedicated to making it accessible to everyone.
Additionally, My Comunidad aims to be a welcoming space for every population. We are dedicated to promoting representation among both teachers and students, ensuring that our classes are open and accessible to anyone seeking to engage in the practice of yoga. Through these efforts, we aspire to cultivate a community where yoga is truly for everyone.
In August 2022, My Comunidad Foundation proudly opened a nonprofit yoga studio in Paramount, California, dedicated to providing low-cost and accessible classes. By July 2023, we initiated a collaboration with The Fern in Huntington Park, extending our reach through yoga classes and workshops for the community.
As of now, our classes are exclusively available at The Fern in Huntington Park, as we actively seek a new permanent location. We express our gratitude for the opportunity to offer low-cost and scholarship-based yoga classes. We remain committed to expanding our impact and making the benefits of yoga accessible to all.
