Yoga in Action provides free, accessible yoga programs to individuals in New Hampshire, Maine, and beyond. Yoga in Action is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization with the mission to ensure all people have access to the therapeutic benefits of yoga regardless of social, physical, and financial barriers with the vision that all people realize their power to connect, transform, heal and thrive through yoga. 

Yoga in Action provides free weekly yoga classes specialized to serve unique populations facing barriers to access both in person and virtually online. Free, weekly yoga classes are located in Portsmouth, Dover, Manchester, North Hampton, and Seabrook, NH as well as York and South Berwick, ME. Specialized yoga classes are designed for and open to underserved populations including cancer patients and survivors, individuals in recovery, folks living with disability, veterans, and seniors. Caretakers are encouraged to accompany those they care for in attending these classes. 

All of Yoga in Action’s classes are trauma-informed yoga and meditation practices led by highly trained, certified teachers. Each of our teachers is specialized in guiding practices for the designated populations welcome in each of their classes to ensure that each practice serves the specific needs of its students. 

We at Yoga in Action imagine a world where the low-cost, high-impact, holistic wellness modality of yoga is not only available, but accessible to all.
