Why Give to Balanced Rock?
When you support Balanced Rock, you become part of a movement to inspire and change lives!
Become A Donor
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)
