CorePower Yoga Partners With Matthew & Camila McConaughey Foundation
CorePower and the just keep livin Foundation will support inner-city high school students with yoga classes, education and other resources
CorePower Yoga, the largest yoga studio chain in the U.S. with over 220 locations, has partnered with Matthew and Camila Alves McConaughey’s just keep livin Foundation to make yoga more accessible to inner-city high school students.
Just keep livin, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to supporting the physical and mental health of inner-city high school students through a holistic approach encompassing exercise, teamwork, gratitude, nutrition and community service. The foundation, founded by Camila and Matthew McConaughey, has implemented after-school fitness and wellness programs in 40 inner-city high schools/sites.
Through the new partnership, CorePower Yoga will play a pivotal role in supporting just keep livin’s mission. The yoga studio will become one of the resources for yoga curriculum, offering mindfulness and yoga education to students at just keep livin’s partner high schools nationwide.
Participating teachers at these partner schools will receive complimentary CorePower At Home digital memberships, granting them access to a curated collection of Yoga on Demand classes to continue their practice and more effectively teach their students. CorePower Yoga has also taken a significant step in nurturing the growth of yoga instructors by extending full 200-hour Teacher Training scholarships annually to three just keep livin teachers and three graduating seniors.
As the partnership evolves, CorePower Yoga and the just keep livin Foundation are planning new ways to bring yoga to high school students.
Donation-based CorePower Yoga classes are on the horizon, as well as studio field trips for students and product collaborations. As just keep livin currently works with over 3,000 students across inner-city schools, the partnership is poised to help provide key resources for mental and physical well-being to students at a pivotal time in their lives.
