Our Mandate
YARD has a supportive, community oriented approach to providing yoga services. Our organization encourages and is insured to provide Community and Outreach services and many of our Yoga Instructors are available to provide these “Community Teaching” services to interested or special needs groups in Red Deer and the surrounding area.
We currently provide Community or Outreach services to “The Gathering Place” Canadian Mental Health Peer Support Centre; “Employment & Immigration” Red Deer Provincial Building; “Poplar Ridge Community” Red Deer County and others.
The objectives of the society are to provide services, as well as promote and educate the public about yoga. Since 2002, there has been a steady and increasing interest in yoga and yoga classes in Central Alberta. Consequently, many YARD instructors also contract with other organizations and upcoming yoga studios in the area, which is a testament to the society carrying out its objectives and mandate.
