Connection Coalition

Connection Coalition, or CoCo for short (the organization previously known as Yoga Gangsters) is a Miami-based non-profit organization that empowers youth who are at-risk or in-crisis through the science and practice of yoga by addressing the symptoms of trauma and poverty such as limited education, addiction, violence, incarceration, teen pregnancy, HIV and more. Yoga Gangsters also assists youth with career training and job placement by providing selected applicants with full scholarships to the Urban Guru Program, a 200-hour yoga teacher certification, so they may return to their communities as strong, inspirational leaders. We offer classes at many inner city locations working within the juvenile justice system, schools, youth centers and other non-profit organizations.
