Compassionate care through yoga on the streets of Atlanta.
Mission Statement
At TLC Yoga we believe that compassionate care in an inclusive environment leads to surprising connections and a positive shift in the wellbeing of our neighbors experiencing homelessness. The goal of each yoga class is for students to leave in an improved physical, mental and emotional state from when they arrived.
Care for the wearied mind and body.
Our yoga classes allow overlooked individuals to devote time to self care — a rare opportunity when you’re living outside. We practice meditation techniques for mental clarity, movement to relieve bodily tension and resting poses to aid in overall relaxation.
Small transformations.
Simply getting to the yoga class is a huge step for many of our students. No matter the level of participation, we witness small transformations each time they join class. And we ensure that each student leaves the class in a better state than when they arrived.
“It’s typical after a stormy night for this group to be smaller and sleepy. After a recent rough night, some students completed a full practice before their final resting pose while others rested with legs up the chair for most of class. I typically encourage a restful heart opener, but fewer transitions felt more appropriate this particular day.”
