In most cases children and adults fall victim to crime, drug addiction and/or poverty. The ramifications of these experiences impact the people of the communities both physically and mentally. Many well-known social programs seek to provide support to meet the physical needs of the community members but, none provide a comprehensive approach to developing a long-term solution.

The Holistic Life Foundation works to grow a rose out of concrete, by creating a program which places the community members at the forefront of finding the solution. Call it mind- over-matter or individual therapy but, yoga practice works.
