WHO WE ARE

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. Our collaborative goal as a community is to teach tools that build each student’s essential life skills toolkit that empower them to make a difference in our world. We are actively involved in ecological and social justice efforts.​
100% of our profits support our outreach programs and medical scholarships that make yoga, mindfulness and dharma physically, medically, financially, culturally, and spiritually accessible.

OUR STORY

Your decision to practice with us makes a profound difference
​in the lives of all those we serve.
DAYA: translates as mercy or compassion; and Delivering Accessible Yoga Alternatives. The DAYA Foundation was founded by Sarahjoy Marsh who envisioned a vibrant center for yoga, yoga therapy, mindfulness, and the integration of East and West, Mind and Body, contemplative and active processes.

The DAYA Foundation was formed to support all of our community members to develop, recover, evolve, and transform. We provide programs, practices, educational and therapeutic interventions to encourage psychological and physical integration and well-being.

DAYA Foundation specializes in Delivering Accessible Yoga Alternatives through our Yoga Outreach Programs: for prisons, hospitals, schools, rehab centers, and senior living centers; and in our online yoga community: amrita yoga, adaptive yoga, Ayurvedic restorative yoga, and mindfulness programs.
