The Fresh Foundation is a non-profit organization with a mission to bring at-risk youth into the healing atmosphere of yoga. Yoga mentors, teachers and studios donate their services to the Foundation, which connects the studios with young people in their neighborhood who would not otherwise have access to the healing benefits of yoga.

Fresh Foundation youth learn in the safe and supportive environment of yoga studios around the Northeast. Adult yoga students act as mentors to the students, encouraging them to set goals and get the most of their practice. Young people learn the physical asanas in a healing and peaceful place, meanwhile cultivating the importance of service in their communities.

The young students earn Karma Points by performing a service, for example by cleaning up local parks and beaches. Once accumulated, the Points can be applied to yoga clinics and retreats, motivating young people to work towards a goal – and stick with their practice – over time.
