It is a style of living that incorporates mind, body and spirit practices, such as meditation, yoga, and healthy eating, combined with the power of Thought and Expression to create a “whole” approach to life.
Founded by Social Entrepreneur & Wellness Expert

Our Mission
Our mission is to make healthy and positive living physically, culturally and financially accessible to underserved urban communities - empowering individuals to take control of their lives.
|
The urban community is in the midst of a health crisis. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, people of color suffer disproportionately from heart disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and certain cancers.
In many urban communities access to preventative wellness services is limited. We want to change that - and you can help. By taking advantage of our products and services, you will not only make yourself healthier, but you will be supporting our very important health-awareness initiatives.

* STRENGTH in character and body...through practice of certain yoga postures, healthy eating and basic ethics.
* SERENITY in mind and relationships...through meditation and positive expression.

| The PWR® Health Initiative
|
| The PWR® Health Initiative provides free health literacy and personal empowerment programs, with a focus on underserved communities. It is currently a community project of Power Living Enterprises, Inc. founded by Dr. Terri Kennedy.
As part of the Initiative and in the spirit of seva, or self-less service, we intend to move Ta Yoga and offer all classes for free or by donation. The Initiative will provide registered/certified teachers and work with local media and businesses for free promotion and listings for the classes, as well as promote the classes through the Power Living offerings and Dr. Kennedy's national speaking events. The Initiative will also provide the mats and other yoga-related items.
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
We are working with community leaders to identify the right space and will announce it soon. The ideal space would be a physically-accessible location, preferably in Central Harlem, with open floor space to fit at least 20 yoga mats comfortably (minimum of 600 square feet). The initial time commitment would be for evening classes from 7:00pm - 8:30pm with set-up and close-out time before and after class. We need storage space for the mats and the ability to dress the space with a couple of plants or create a natural ambiance.
In exchange for donating the space, the Sponsor of the PWR® Health Initiative will receive free promotion of the location through Dr. Terri Kennedy's own local and national press and promotional activities. Dr. Kennedy has been featured in the media around the world from O: The Oprah Magazine, Yoga Journal, The New York Times and Prevention to CNN, NBC's Today in New York, Fox TV News, Smart Woman TV and ARD TV in Germany.
