Learn About the Carl Ballot Foundation
We are a non-profit dedicated to accessible wellness through yoga, garden-based learning, and educator support. We partner with schools, prisons, elder care facilities, and communities to cultivate resilience, focus, and well-being.
Our namesake, Carl Ballot, believed that communities should be supported, that people deserve help and love, and we want to make sure his dream comes to fruition.
