    For my second resource contribution I wanted to share Yoga Gangsters.

    "Yoga Gangsters is a Miami-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to empower youth by addressing the symptoms of trauma and poverty such as limited education, addiction, violence, incarceration, teen pregnancy, HIV, physical/mental disabilities and more using the practice of yoga."

    This organization stood out to me because I am a yoga instructor and have seen the lives of so many people change by bringing yoga into their lives. Physical change can help dramatically with emotional change and this non-profit is the perfect example of that.
