Why Give to Balanced Rock?

When you support Balanced Rock, you become part of a movement to inspire and change lives!

Your donation is tax deductible, please check your inbox for a tax acknowledgement letter for your records. Thank you for your generosity!

Balanced Rock aims to provide accessible, inclusive programs steeped in healing and transformation. We have the tools to create life-changing experiences: the ancient practices of yoga, Yosemite’s majestic landscape, our devoted team of experts, and a passion for well-being. Your gift helps us reach more people in need and allows us to lead with compassion and love to be of greater service to the underserved. We have a clear vision, but we can’t get there without you.

Please consider a recurring weekly or monthly donation, or a one-time donation to support Balanced Rock’s mission and vision and help us illuminate the path towards a healthier future!

Weekly or monthly donations are great for…

  • Supporting our weekly Community Yoga Program, which is a completely donor-funded initiative to allow accessible & ongoing yoga classes to the local community

  • Subscribing to a Wellness Series, which are part of our Community Programs and also rely on donor support to offer wellness resources to local and global participants

  • A quick-and-easy alternative for our generous annual donors to set a designated gift amount on a recurring basis (like a weekly or monthly subscription, eliminating the hassle of manually sending your contribution each year)
