Welcome to 

We are a not-for-profit studio run by a foundation in North Buffalo, NY and prioritize making yoga accessible to all. 

​

The Yoga Parkside Foundation acknowledges the land on which we operate is the territory of the Seneca Nation, a member of the Haudenosaunee/Six Nations Confederacy.

​

​Our Mission:  

 

Yoga Parkside Foundation exists to promote and champion health equity and wellness for all in Buffalo, NY. By offering welcoming spaces that promote safety through trauma-informed care and practices, we are working to address the social determinants of health for Buffalo folks, with a priority for BIPOC and New American communities. Yoga Parkside seeks to uplift bodies of all shapes and sizes regardless of race, gender, or sexuality.

​

Our Values:  

​

• YPF believes the practices of yoga innately create better health in holistic ways. 

• YPF believes everyone should be allowed to pursue health equity–regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, all should have a fair opportunity to attain their highest level of health.  

• YPF is a trauma-informed institution, seeking to help heal the history of trauma that resides in our bodies. 

• YPF is an inclusive and welcoming community, cultivating transformative wellness spaces for all. 

• YPF champions a diverse range of yogic practices and purposefully works within collective spaces to serve diverse populations. These include black and brown bodies, indigenous bodies, various sized-bodies, disabled bodies, LGBTQ+ bodies, and those who may otherwise feel excluded from wellness offerings.
