Our Story
We bring people together to advance social progress with the community-building power of yoga.
Yoga In Our City began in 2012 in Hartford, Connecticut. We recognized the transformative power of yoga and believed bringing people together to enjoy a shared yoga experience would create a culture of community well-being and connection. We offered one class every week with a simple goal to “build a happier, healthier Hartford.”
As our popularity grew, we offered more classes in more places. New people and organizations began to support and shape our work, our goals, and our impact. Yoga In Our City has evolved from a humble weekly class to a national collaboration of members, teachers, and partners building stronger communities through compassion, gratitude, and mindfulness.
As we’ve grown, so has our team thanks to our Happy Warrior® teacher training program. We train our teachers to lead communities with a focus on equity, service, and advocacy.
Happy Warrior® teachers show up in our communities to offer classes, workshops, information sessions, and speaking engagements to promote health and well-being for the whole family. Through partnerships with nonprofits and other organizations, we work to make yoga and mindfulness inclusive and accessible to everyone.
As we continue to grow, we are committed to continually learning and improving as we recognize the responsibility of providing yoga to the communities we serve.
