Geni Donnelly and Rebeccah Bartlett began their journey towards uplifting the under-served by working with Run for Congo Women, a grass roots organization with Women to Women International. In 2012, they founded Yogamour which offers yoga-volunteer retreats, fundraising trips. Through the eyes of the Yogamour mission, Geni and Beccah have brought together volunteers from around the globe who have worked with human trafficking, abject poverty, sexual abuse, domestic violence, addiction recovery and incarcerated populations. The Yogamour Outreach Team brings yoga and mindfulness programs to our local communities as an adjunct therapy in the healing process to survivors of trauma, marginalized communities and under-served populations.
The organization promotes the philosophy of seva, or "yogis for selfless service.” Yogamour continues to uplift the growing voices of marginalized peoples who need the support of mindful and innovative folks in our community!
Some of the talented educators who have shaped Geni's thoughts and methods of teaching include her students, and many teachers as well as her functioning, dysfunctional fun family and fabulous dogs!
