The Dallas Foundation raises millions to fund the community, but it didn't always start that way. After its founding, it would be a decade before they successfully offered their first $1000 grant.

Believing that yoga is for everybody, The Yoga Movement welcomes beginning and seasoned yogis alike. Instructor Larry Lane began practicing the Iyengar style in the 1980s. He's one of the country's top instructors and has gained recognition from Shape and Vogue among other publications. The Iyengar classes emphasize correct alignment while helping to develop stamina, concentration, and body awareness. They're offered throughout the week and are led by Larry and the other instructors.

Gaia Flow

At Gaia Flow, the mission is to offer classes that help yogis relax and live a fuller, more joyous life. Founders Chrystal Rae and Andres Illera provide an innovative blend of the three traditional yoga schools linked with vinyasa flow. For a slower-paced class, try gentle waves. Perfect for beginners, it offers a healing, meditative vinyasa flow that helps practitioners slow down and find balance. Gaia Flow offers both live stream classes and an on-demand video library so you can practice on your own schedule.

Rescue Yoga

Established in 2007, Rescue Yoga strives to help practitioners improve their quality of life ." The instructors believe that the body was intended to be in motion. That's why they designed the classes around movement and encourage everyone on their yoga journey. The online sessions are offered daily through Zoom. Choices include Energizing Flow, Yoga Foundations, and Rise & Shine (starts at 5:30 a.m.).
