The Three and a Half Acres family is sending lots of love to our friends & supporters. In order to ensure the safety of our teachers and to comply with experts and officials, we are placing our programs on pause.

This past weekend, Three and a Half Acres added eight new yoga instructors to our team! The training was originally supposed to take place in Washington, D.C. and instead was brought online to our DMV group.

In the interest of our communities, we are postponing our annual Three and a Half Acres Yoga gala, currently scheduled for March 31, 2020. We expect to announce a new Summer date for the gala soon. We look forward to seeing and being with all of you then to support THAY’s mission to foster healthy, mindful, and connected community.

We would like to take a minute to highlight Women’s History Month and recognize the ways Three and a Half Acres supports women year round. Did you know that THAY’s board members are all POWERFUL women!? These dedicated ladies contribute a wealth of knowledge from their diverse backgrounds in order to make our organization thrive.

Some children from Harlem are getting all the benefits of a yoga class, while also getting to know the police in their neighborhood. The officers attending the class are from 28th Precinct in West Harlem. They say they believe these interactions build trust with young people who are sometimes wary of them.

Please join us at our 7th Annual Gala Tuesday, March 31st 2020 to support Three and a Half Acres Yoga (“THAY”)—a non-profit organization empowering our communities through yoga, breathing and mindfulness techniques.

We truly hope you had a happy holiday season! The new year is already off to a great start here at Three and a Half Acres, and we have so much to look forward to! We are most excited to kick off our THREE new partnerships.
