Raquel Bueno is a board member of the Sexual Assault Center, and she also happens to be a yoga instructor. Earlier this summer, she combined her skills and passion to create a unique format for helping victims of sexual assault.

Bueno started small with a few classes on Sundays in area parks. Since then, she has launched Yoga Gives! which continues with twice-monthly classes in area parks with plans for becoming much bigger. Classes are free to participants, but donations are requested, which go directly to support the programs of the Sexual Assault Center (SAC).

The next outdoor class is October 18 at Sevier Park 10:30 a.m. Beginning November 1, the class will move indoors, meeting every Sunday from 1:00 – 2:15 p.m. at Sanctuary Yoga in Green Hills. For all schedule times, contact Raquel Bueno at Raqpoet@gmail.com; phone: 310-849-9761.
