Two local organizations, Little Tree Project and Walking Gospel, are partnering to not only raise funds and awareness for the fight against modern slavery, but to also teach the healing practice of yoga.

Little Tree Project is an anti-trafficking organization launching its trauma-informed aftercare and residential program for survivors of human trafficking in Baldwin County, Alabama. Their mission is to provide hope, purpose and healing to survivors through its survivor-driven and solution-based model. With a holistic approach encompassing prevention, awareness, rehabilitation and restoration, Little Tree Project will bring a lasting change to the ever-present local issue of human trafficking.

Walking Gospel’s mission is to walk the gospel in culturally relevant ways. Founder Kara Palmer believes yoga is a pathway of healing and a powerful union of the mind, body and spirit to God. Every first and third Saturday of the month, Palmer and Susan Bordenkircher offer Walking Gospel Yoga classes to raise funds for Little Tree Project’s cause. Classes begin at 9 a.m. above the bluff at the Fairhope Pier, where there is space for social distancing and the suggested donation is $10. The sequencing is gentle and beginners are welcome.
