it’s good to give back to your community.
Abundant Yoga Community is the most recent recipient of the RFCF Big Idea Grant. Abundant Yoga Community (AYC) utilized funds to provide yoga opportunities for traditionally underserved populations within the River Falls area in nontraditional, comfortable, accessible settings.
“From teens to the elderly, this really is improving their overall quality of life.”
~Tracey Mortensen, Founder of Abundant Yoga Community
The yoga program utilized funds to provide trained and certified yoga instructors for sessions targeting six key communities: those with physical mobility issues, those recovering from substance abuse, cancer survivors, teens, anyone who thought Yoga was out of reach due to cost or other barriers, and those who would rather start by accessing tools and instruction online.
This program is a wonderful example of the Big Idea Grant’s big impacts among community members most in need of a helping hand or a little extra care and support.
