Then head over to the Chase Mission Main Street page and VOTE for Warrior Power Yoga to receive a $250,000 Small Business Grant! We only have until November 15th (10 more days!!) to get 250 votes from our community members to nominate us as recipients, just to be considered. Every single vote counts, so get the word out to your friends and families that Warrior Power Yoga needs your help!
Still curious what we could actually DO with so much funding?? Here's a little insight...
--- (About our business and our impact)
At Warrior Power Yoga, we have chosen to respond to the declining health, growing waistlines, stress and chronic disease in our local communities by welcoming people from every walk of life to learn yoga as a way of improving their health in a concrete, immediate way. By focusing on teaching our students to take their yoga "off the mat" by applying the healthy tools we practice on the mat to their whole day, and into their lives, we have become a truly holistic, homegrown wellness community.
--- (How we currently work towards making an impact in the community)
We know that physical health and mental health are intricately linked, and as such, we are committed to being a positive source for change by holding ourselves accountable to improve the health and strength of everyone in our local community. By holding special fundraiser classes to provide food for homeless school children and their families, to offering free yoga for veterans, and discounted classes for teachers and military, we believe yoga should be available to all, and used to help others.
--- (How we would use the $250k grant to increase our impact)
This grant would enable us to expand our community outreach programs, bringing free yoga into our local schools, juvenile detention centers, and VA hospitals, along with a special training program designed to equip teenage mentors to reach at-risk youth with yoga, becoming positive role models of health and community contribution. Our outreach programs will help ensure community connectedness, and further increase awareness and visibility of our studio as a safe, welcoming space for everyone.
--- (About our staff at Warrior Power Yoga)
Our diverse, multi-talented staff brings wisdom & perspective from different backgrounds, helping to strengthen, promote, and unite our business. We have expertise in yoga studies, anatomy & physiology, exercise science & preventative health, positioning our studio and staff as knowledgeable, trusted experts in our field.

So jump on board, get your vote in - it only takes 2 seconds - and share with friends and family to help spread the word, and help grow our amazing yoga community into something even greater! :-)
Love and namaste,
Your WPY team :-)
