Our Mission
Delivering wellness through mindfulness, social-emotional awareness, and customized programs throughout Newark and beyond.
Founded in 2009, Newark Yoga Movement delivers wellness through mindfulness practices, social-emotional awareness, and customized programs throughout Newark and the surrounding areas. We prioritize breath as a foundational tool for healing, resilience, and connection — meeting people where they are physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Whether in schools, senior centers, parks, businesses, recreation programs, or faith-based settings, we bring inclusive, tailored programming directly to communities. By removing barriers, we make wellness reachable, empowering, and transformative for all.

Newark Yoga Movement 501(c)(3) was founded in 2009 to help provide important social and emotional learning (SEL) skills to children through conscious breathing and yoga. When Founder Debby Kaminsky read about low graduation rates in Newark, she wanted to do something to help reverse the trend.
