Off the Mat NYC is the local group for the national organization, Off The Mat Into the World (offthematintotheworld.org). Off the Mat uses the power of yoga to inspire conscious, sustainable activism and ignite grassroots social change. They do this by facilitating personal empowerment through leadership trainings, fostering community collaboration, and initiating local and global service projects. In New York City our mission is to embody the vision of Off the Mat by cultivating connection and sustainable social change in our urban community.
