Dear Off the Mat Family and Friends,
This holiday season, we invite you to support the work we are doing at Off the Mat, Into the World. We are so proud of the leaders that have come through our trainings, and our renewed mission is to make all of our trainings more accessible. At OTM, we recognize that having leaders in all kinds of communities is a vital part of creating a movement for positive social and environmental change. We are committed to offering relevant trainings and mentoring opportunities to as many people as we can.
This is where you come in. Affordability is an important part of accessibility. A 5-day Leadership Intensive, facilitated by our founders Seane Corn, Hala Khouri and Suzanne Sterling, costs an average of $650. This is incredibly low, given that it's led by 3 world class facilitators. The actual cost of this training should be $2000. It is through the support of our community that we are able to keep our costs down and offer 10 scholarships per training. Currently, all of our online trainings are offered on a sliding scale.
Keeping trainings affordable is only possible with the help of our community!
If you have been touched by one of our trainings, please pay it forward by making a generous donation that will help spread this work to others. If you know of our work and are sparked by it, share your spark by contributing.
We appreciate you!

Our 2015 Commitments:
- ELEVATE OUR TRAININGS -
Our 5-day Leadership Intensive has changed many lives and inspired hundreds of people to go back to their communities and engage in a conscious, effective and powerful way. In 2015, you will see a series of online trainings on Social Justice, Cultural Competency, Trauma and Facilitation. We have a faculty of trainers offering specialized workshops on addiction & recovery, body image, social justice, youth, trauma and activating your purpose.
&
- CULTIVATE DIVERSE VOICES & PERSPECTIVES -
We are actively working towards training, engaging and learning from yogis from a wide variety of communities. We have leaders of color, leaders who are part of the LGBTQ community, leaders with disabilities and leaders from the corporate world who inform our vision. On our scholarship applications, we actively recruit people who are not usually considered part of the mainstream yoga community. We want to see everyone in the room during our trainings.
