We hold a collective desire to connect the Greater Philadelphia Yoga community and,
most importantly, to help people find space and time to breathe and practice.

We do so by sharing local studio class schedules, events, workshops, retreats & more!

We aspire to expand our supportive offerings over time;

ABOUT AMBASSADORSHIP

click to volunteer

We hope to broadly challenge the existing culture of organizational "work" by, above all else, creating space for team members to co-exist and collaborate authentically, presently, honestly and engage in work in ways that feel sustainable, realistic, impactful, fulfilling, supportive, and aligned with individual strengths/goals. Team members are encouraged to opt in and out of labor/time commitments as needed, with grace and without judgment. Our goals and deadlines are not static, and we adapt - simply and collaboratively - when present needs change.

Currently PYN collaborates once monthly on the fourth Thursday at 12PM via Zoom,
and we use WhatsApp, Instagram, and email to stay connected.
