Help Us Give Back and Say “Yes” More Often 💛
Hi friends,
Over the last month, we’ve received requests to donate yoga and wellness classes to a Girl Scout troop, two local schools, and a shelter — and that’s in addition to the places we’ve already taught outside the studio recently: a group therapy program, private sessions for victims of violent crime, Illinois College, Legacy Dance Competition Team, Bluffs School teachers and staff, a local playgroup, Greenfield High School, and of course, everything happening inside the studio.
This is the heart of what we do; sharing movement, breath, and connection with people who need it most.
The reality is that I (Wendy) am running the studio, working a second job 24 hours a week, teaching 5-8 classes and trying to be a present mom who attends all my children’s events. So, I’m fresh out of hours to donate personally, but we can continue saying yes when we have funds available to pay our instructors for this important work.
If you’ve ever thought, “I love what Jax does for the community; I wish I could help,” here’s how you can:
1. Donate an Off-Site Class ($75) toward any cause close to your heart — schools, shelters, recovery programs, etc. Just email us at jaxyogasquad@gmail.com.
2. Support this ongoing work through our current give-back sale (ending today!). These sales fund our outreach classes and help us say yes to more requests.
We’re also in the process of developing a nonprofit arm of Jax to accept tax-exempt donations for programs like yoga in schools, shelters, and trauma recovery spaces.
If you see the value in this work and want to help it grow, your support makes an incredible difference.
And we’d love to hear from you! As we plan our next deals and community give-back, where would you love to see proceeds go next? This is our chance to practice the likbs of yoga that go beyond doing poses for a workout or deep rest. And what kind of deal would you be excited to purchase for yourself or as a holiday gift that also gives back?
Thank you for continuing to make Jax a space that ripples far beyond our walls.
With love and gratitude,
Wendy + the Jax Yoga & Wellness Collective Team
