Holistic Life Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the mental and emotional wellness of residents of Baltimore, MD. Some of the programs HLF offers include: Yoga for both children and adults, mindfulness, self-care practices, as well as other wellness-centered education.
Inner city life can at times be taxing and, at its worst, even traumatic. Knowing that fact, it's very encouraging to see an organization that has made it its mission to fill what is often a crucial gap in the development and overall health of people who live in these underserved, often underresourced urban communities
