Thank You For Helping More People Find Healing in Nature
For over 25 years, Balanced Rock Foundation has helped people reconnect with themselves, one another, and the natural world through yoga, guided experiences, creative expression, and building community wellness.
Every year, we have the privilege of witnessing lives transform through the power of our programming. Your gift makes this possible.
A Yosemite National Park or park partner employee learns tools to manage stress through a community wellness workshop
A local family sends their child to the annual Youth Engaged in Transformational Inquiry (YETI) Summer Camp due to scholarships and our tuition assistance program
A visitor discovers confidence and empowerment on a wilderness trip or guided adventure in Yosemite
A caregiver finally takes a breath when attending the accessible, donation-funded weekly yoga classes
Balanced Rock is able to offer these experiences because people like you believe that everyone deserves access to healing, connection, and the restorative power of nature.
