Overview

Mission

The Santa Fe Community Yoga Center provides accessible, welcoming, and affordable yoga and community-building to our local community by providing inclusive classes, programs, and outreach.

What it reported doing in 2025

Low Cost Studio: Santa Fe Community Yoga provided community-based educational programming honoring various yoga traditions. Our low-cost studio served thousands of unique clients in 2025, a large percentage of whom took advantage of our by-donation classes, which have no payment minimums and thereby ensure that high-quality yoga instruction is available to all income levels. In 2025, the studio offered free classes twice per month for Santa Fe Public Schools teachers, faculty and staff. The studio continued to offer an online class for high-risk students unable to attend in-person classes for health reasons. In November 2025, Santa Fe Community Yoga began the Yoga for the Unhoused program, offering yoga classes for free.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 96% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
