MANIFESTO: OUR PRACTICE IS AN EXPLORATION; THE JOURNEY TO FIND INNER PEACE AND BALANCE. TOGETHER, LET'S TAKE THAT PRACTICE OFF THE MAT AND OUT OF BOUNDS. LET'S BRING IT TO THE OUR ROOFTOPS, OUR FRONT YARDS AND OUR TOWN SQUARES. LET'S BRING IT TO THE UNDER-PRIVELEDGED, THE MENTALLY ILL, THE CHILDREN. LET'S CONNECT IT TO THE IDEA THAT PERHAPS ONE DAY ALL SENTIENT BEINGS EVERYWHERE MAY BE HAPPY AND FREE. LET'S PRACTICE TOGETHER FOR HOPE. HOPE THAT ALL PEOPLE MIGHT BE EQUAL REGARDLESS OF THEIR SEX, RACE OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION. LET'S USE THE PRACTICE TO CONNECT TO OUR INNER LIGHT AND SHARE IT WITH OTHERSBasil Jones & Corti Cooper created Yoga Out of Bounds to refocus the energy and peace yoga brings inside us and share it for the greater good. Our cause is human rights. Equality and education for gay youth so that their opportunities are equal in their schools and communities. Programs, mentoring and health care for single mothers so that they may be independent and have the means to provide the love and nurturing that their children need. Basil and Corti provide support for these causes through events, yoga programs for the underpriveledged and dharma talks. If nothing else, let's talk with our communities about the inequalities that are happening in our front yards. Together, let's connect to our basic human rights through the practice.
