A yoga class to benefit Al-Jawad Camp, which provides educational & psychological support for displaced children in central Gaza.

Put your yoga in action this International Day of Yoga with the opportunity to come together in community to Practice for Palestine. Join DC-based yoga instructor Jessica Mahler at 10am Saturday, June 20th, 2026 this International Day of Yoga for an all-levels yoga class in support of Palestine. Specifically Al-Jawad Camp, a free educational camp for displaced children in central Gaza since their schools were destroyed. They offer psychological support, entertainment, art classes, & provide school bags, stationery, clothes, food, water, & toys. However, due to the closure of the crossings, prices have become very high & obtaining these items has become very difficult.

Al-Jawad Camp has been forced to do so much with so little. The future of Gaza depends on how we support the children in this moment. Which is why in place of celebrating the United Nations-sponsored International Day of Yoga (IDY) holiday, we will reappropriate IDY in solidarity with Palestinians facing ongoing occupation, genocide, and displacement.

Guest speaker Palestinian activist and Chef Jinan Deena of Bayti will offer opening and closing remarks.

Please bring a yoga mat, water bottle & an open heart, & donate whatever you can to help the children of Gaza have a future.
