Three and a Half Acres Yoga Information

Three and a Half Acres Yoga (THAY) heals and empowers under-resourced communities by using yoga, breathing, and mindfulness techniques to realize a more peaceful, just, and interconnected existence. THAY partners with community organizations within Harlem and Upper Manhattan that serve residents facing emotional, physical, and social challenges. Our programs reach schools, recovery centers, food banks, and other non-profits to support their existing missions and build bridges of understanding among neighbors. In addition, we provide yoga,breathing, and mindfulness techniques to those who police our neighborhoods. We believe these techniques create space and clarity in the day-to-day interactions the police have with members of our community. We envision a world where the benefits of yoga and mindfulness are available to all—regardless of age, race, gender and class—providing the tools and momentum for positive change within individuals and the communities they collectively create.
