Make a Monthly Pledge with the Friends of Lotus Program!

Yoga in Public Schools (“YIPS”): Yoga in Public Schools (YIPS) is a community service project of Lotus Center, which began during the 2017/18 school year.  Our mission for YIPS is to bring non-religious yoga classes, as part of their Physical Education curriculum, to public schools in Grant County, New Mexico.  Thus far, Lotus instructors have taught yoga to students at 12 public schools and one Montessori school.  YIPS is provided at no cost to the schools or their students.

Meditation in Public Schools (“MIPS”): In response to a December 2022 request from the teachers at Aldo Leopold Middle School, Lotus Center dispatched one of our meditation instructors to lead weekly meditation classes to all six homeroom classes at the middle school.

We are happy to be continuing our service to the Aldo Middle School in the 2026-27 school year, and look forward to offering meditation at more public schools in the near future. MIPS is provided at no cost to students or their schools.

Bilingual (Spanish/English) Yoga: To ensure accessibility for everyone, these Spanish-language yoga classes are offered by donation. And while the classes are financially self-sustaining, a foundation of energetic and financial stability provides us the confidence to venture into this type of community service work.
