Breathing Space’s outreach work is supported by our class fees, donors, and grants. In addition, in June 2019, the Stephens-Digenti family established the Seed to Flower Fund at the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts. The SEED TO FLOWER FUND FOR YOGA SERVICE offers mini-grants to nonprofits associated with Western Mass jails and recovery centers, who provide our trauma-informed yoga program to their clients. Trauma-informed yoga practice has been shown to relieve stress, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression, and to promote empathy, reduce reactivity, and increase emotional stability.
