Newark Yoga Movement

About this gym

Founded in 2009 by Debby Kaminsky, Newark Yoga Movement delivers wellness through mindfulness practices, social-emotional awareness, and customized programs throughout Newark and the surrounding areas. The organization meets people where they are — in classrooms, recreation centers, parks, workplaces, and faith-based settings — bringing breath, movement, and mindfulness directly into everyday environments, at no cost to participants. Programs include school-based initiatives (Yoga Instead of Detention, Yoga Ambassador, adapted yoga for students with varying physical abilities), free community classes at partner locations, youth teacher training, and Breathe, then Read, a literacy and mindfulness initiative. The organization reports reaching over 50,000 students across 65+ schools and running approximately 170 classes per week, funded entirely through donations.
