The Yoga Service Collective (formerly Yoga Service Council) has been a crucial partner in our work. Together we have supported and helped to shape the emerging field of yoga service for more than a decade, through annual conferences, best practice symposiums, and an acclaimed series of best practice guides.

Yoga Service
Yoga and service have always been core components of Omega’s offering, and continue to serve as transformative tools for cultivating personal and collective resilience.
Over the years, we have been working with an ever-widening network of people and organizations that bring yoga into the lives of individuals and communities with limited access to these vital teachings. Through this experience we have learned that the power of working together is much stronger than walking the path alone.

Best Practices Guidebooks
Launched in 2014 as a collaboration between Omega and the Yoga Service Collective, the guidebooks uplift the field of yoga service by sharing the insights, experiences, and knowledge of leading teachers, researchers, therapists, medical professionals, policy makers, and others working to make yoga and mindfulness practices equally available to all.
There is a revolution that needs to happen for real change to transpire, but it’s a revolution that begins from within.

Our Teachers
Omega’s yoga service programs continue to feature leaders in the field who bring these teachings to a broad spectrum of people—including early education teachers, health-care professionals, veterans, at-risk youth, and the elderly.
