About Us
Much needed stress relief along with building inner strength, clarity and empowerment are achieved through effectively incorporating essential techniques of Eastern yoga practices within the demands of Western modern life. Through offering a safe, non-judgmental space to learn and interact, Dhara promotes individual growth and a sense of authentic community. All classes are aimed to inspire individuals to awaken to their fullest potential and to move towards deeper community involvement.
Dhara’s mission is to support social change through offering awakening and healing experiences to individuals so that they become empowered to take peaceful, thoughtful actions that will maintain sustainable, flourishing communities. This is accomplished through teaching practical healthy life skills to people of all ages and economic backgrounds. A special focus is given to those living in low income or marginalized communities, recovering from trauma or addiction, or living with a mental illness. Supportive programming is also offered to those who serve these populations.
Currently, Dhara participates in the FJC Fiscal Sponsorship Program. We are guided by an estimable advisory committee, made up of leaders and pioneers in the mental wellness movement, and have caught the attention of leading service organizations.
