MotherHeart closing
Donation protected
MotherHeart Yoga has served the Fishtown community since 2012 and sadly will close it's doors this September 1st, 2023. This gofundme is to help cover costs to close the space itself, and to support Dawn, the founder of MotherHeart in her transition to the next phase of life after many years of underpaid or unpaid labor as a community leader, yoga guide, grief counselor, and spiritual mentorship facilitator for thousands of students. Dawn received the distinguished teaching award in 2022.

Dawn was there for me through both pregnancies and showed up for me in ways I never could have dreamed of! Truly a special space but the real magic will live & love on with Dawn. -Kelly C
