SHELTERED YOGA

History of Sheltered Yoga

Sheltered Yoga, a nonprofit organization founded and led by Tina LeMar, has been on a transformative journey since its inception in New Jersey. From the outset, Sheltered Yoga has been dedicated to bringing evidence-based, trauma-informed mental and behavioral health and wellness curricula to shelters, at-risk schools, group homes, and various needed locations. The organization has evolved by learning deeply from the communities it serves, establishing strong long term relationships and familial connections that promote security and comfort. Despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which temporarily diminished its teaching staff, Sheltered Yoga has demonstrated resilience by rebuilding and continuing to offer hope, love, encouragement, empowerment, and compassionate listening. The organization remains committed to changing lives for the better, every day.
