Today is Give for Good Louisville Day, the biggest fundraiser for local nonprofits. I'm sure most of my friends know that this is the yoga school where I teach and am president. It's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization. No one is turned away from classes for inability to pay. We provide scholarships for regular classes, teacher training, and study in India. I found Yoga East in 1990 shortly after I moved to Louisville, and met Maja Trigg, who founded this school in 1971. Yoga East and Maja changed my life. Thanks to walking through the Yoga East door, I've been able to study with master teachers here in the U.S., in India, and most recently in Crete for seven days. I want people to share the life-transforming experience I had, so I continue to teach according to the principles I learned from Maja. Please consider a donation so that we can keep this organization going for 53 more years. No amount is too small and every donation is deeply appreciated.

For over five decades, Yoga East has made the healing benefits of yoga available to the Greater Louisville Community, regardless of the ability to pay.When Yoga East was founded by Maja Trigg (1927-2016) in 1971, no one could have imagined where we would be 52 years later....
