DAYA is a non-profit yoga outreach organization providing trauma-informed yoga programs for students, teachers, activists, health professionals, and more. Our longest standing program is our Prison Yoga Outreach Program, launched in 1998.

Delivering Accessible Yoga Alternatives: public (online) yoga classes, yoga therapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, ecological + societal trauma; adaptive and medically-sensitive yoga programs; and trauma-informed brain-sensitive outreach programs for prisons, schools, hospitals, and rehab centers.

We are energized by a unique blend of dedicated yoga teachers, yoga therapists, and volunteers.
