How we give back!
Yoga for Mental Differences
This page is dedicated to Confidently Sensitive: Yoga for Mental Differences. Confidently Sensitive is our Give Back program which was started in the Spring of 2024 thanks to a grant provided through the Lululemon Community Initiative Fund. This fund engages local Ambassadors, and supports them by investing in locally relevant grassroots community events.
Due to the strong need for mental health support on Martha's Vineyard, YogiJay and WholesomeMV, in collaboration with Lululemon and the Martha's Vineyard Yoga Barn launched Confidently Sensitive. Its an inclusive and ambitious program with the mission of educating and supporting the martha's vineyard community in better understanding mental differences while also learning valuable tools, techniques and resources to support mental differences through yoga and mindfulness.
