How are you? I think you are the right resource for this question: I work in a very busy community health center in Petworth; we serve a predominately medically under-served population (most often our patients are non-white and non-English speaking), and while we love the mission we serve, that does not in any way make up for care-giver/employee burn out. In addition, we are a non-profit with some financial constraints and this too adds to the burdens of our employees. In thinking about staff appreciation I would love to offer my employees a weekly opportunity to practice some yoga/exercise. Its such an integral part of my life (and well-being), and I would love to open this up to others as well. Do you know anyone (maybe a blossoming teacher?) who would be willing to teach a weekly class here at our clinic on Georgia Ave? Because we are a working clinic, the class would (hopefully) be at 7pm (any night Tuesday-Thursday). And unfortunately, I am unsure if we would be able to pay much, if anything at all (still waiting for word from my supervisor on that one). (But I would gladly contribute to a glass of wine/tea fund!)
Let me know your thoughts and/or maybe another community resource that could be helpful.
Thanks so much for your time/thoughts! See you this weekend!
always,
