A team of three good friends gave birth to the Yoga for Single Moms Project after a hectic month of trying to schedule a yoga class to attend together. The logistics became so challenging—between coordinating babysitters, dropping off kids, picking up kids, squeezing in lunch, finding clean yoga clothes, and all of the other timing issues that are inherent in single-mom-hood—that we eventually gave up.

But not for long. Yoga is important to us, so we brainstormed better ways to make it happen. With our extensive yoga connections, we were inspired to partner up with studios across the country to create classes specifically for single moms, along with a directory of resources for moms committed to a yoga practice. We’ll be bringing you more and more options as this organization grows. If you or your studio would like to participate in the Yoga for Single Moms Project, please contact us.

The Founding Team:

Chanel and Bonnie are Boston-based yoga teachers with many years of experience leading classes, trainings and retreats. Michelle is a single mom from New York who has long appreciated the benefits of yoga in keeping her grounded and calm.
