About us
Led by a team of volunteers, at Cumbria Yoga Foundation we believe that everyone should have access to practices that help support both physical and mental health.
Working with like-minded partners across the county, we deliver inclusive yoga and wellbeing sessions that are affordable and accessible to everyone.
Current projects
We launched our first free Yoga Day event in Carlisle supported by Carlisle City Council in 2018. Since then we have worked with groups across the county to provide free yoga to refugees, mental health organisations, older people, children and young people, LGBTQAI groups and other community groups.
In 2020 we decided to make it official, and became a registered charity. Our vision is to work with our amazing partners to deliver accessible, affordable yoga and wellbeing services across the county.
