IT'S FINALLY HERE!!

The launch of the Y4A Merchandise Store!

Our brand-new online store features a range of Y4A branded merchandise, from apparel to accessories, designed to inspire and empower our community. We have created items that look good and carry the spirit of Y4A's mission to provide health, wellness, and a sense of wholeness to those on their amputee journey. Plus, most items in the store come in multiple color options, so be sure to view each listing to find your perfect match.

We value your opinion, and we would like to hear your thoughts. As we continue to grow, we want to know if there's anything you're looking for that you haven't found in our store. Are there any specific styles, items, or colors you want us to consider adding? Your feedback is essential in helping us improve our offerings to meet your needs better and ensure that the Y4A Merchandise Store reflects the diversity and spirit of our community.

We're excited to see how the store will grow and evolve with your support and feedback. This is more than just a store; it's a way to wear your support on your sleeve (literally!) and to spread the message of empowerment and resilience far and wide.

Every purchase made at the Y4A Merchandise Store directly supports our ongoing efforts to empower amputees, yoga teachers, and the community through yoga. By choosing Y4A-branded merchandise, you support this incredible community and help fund these programs, including classes, workshops, and training. Y4A is self-funded by Lucy and Heather (plus a grant from the Yoga Alliance Foundation for Y4A scholarship support) because we firmly believe that Y4A, founded by Marsha T. Danzig, should continue Marsha’s mission of promoting human potential to thrive, regardless of challenges faced.

Thank you for being a part of this new chapter in the Y4A story. Together, we can make a difference and continue supporting each other in exploring life's endless possibilities.

Highlights from Our Successful Y4A Yoga for Amputees Teacher Training Weekend!

Finally, we thought we’d share some photos from our recently completed Y4A Yoga for Amputees Teacher Training at our home studio, the Yoga Center of Columbia, MD. There were 24 attendees, both live in-studio and online, including yoga teachers, yoga therapists, prosthetists, orthotists, and occupational therapists. We were fortunate to have several amputees attending as students or as guest presenters who enriched the training by sharing their lived experience. The weekend was full of information, interaction, questions, explorations, and a growing supportive community excited to spread the practice of adaptive yoga everywhere, for everyone, in every body. Take a look:

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for this transformative weekend. Stay tuned — as soon as the next Teacher Training session is scheduled, we will be sure to let you know. Your ongoing engagement and support are what make these events truly special.
