Making an Impact in our Communities
The mission of Citizen Yoga is to improve mental health and prevent suicide through personal growth and transformation. We’ve lived this mission every day since we opened our first studio in 2013. Yoga at the Big House is an annual celebration of our mission, where we bring together over 1,000 community members to normalize conversations about mental health and suicide, and to speak openly with those most affected.
Each year, this event evolves to support mental health in the ways our community needs it most. In 2025, we are centering the belief that a system that supports those most marginalized among us is a system that supports everyone. Together, we will fundraise for two local organizations - Detroit Phoenix Center and Affirmations - that work to provide wrap around supports for our most vulnerable and resilient community members.
2025 Beneficiaries
Affirmations LGBTQ+ Community Center was founded in 1989 with a mission to provide a welcoming space where people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and cultures can find support and unconditional acceptance, and where they can learn, grow, socialize and feel safe.
Mission: To improve the quality of life for LGBTQ+ Michiganders through education, programming, advocacy, and providing space for community connection.

Detroit Phoenix Center opened in 2017 as the first completely volunteer-driven Asset Based Resource Center providing drop-in services and basic need support to teens and young adults experiencing housing crisis or instability and seeking a place to belong, authentic relationships, and critical resources.
Mission: To provide critical resources, wrap around support, and a safe, nurturing environment to youth who are transitioning out of homelessness and poverty.

Sponsorship Opportunities
This truly extraordinary event wouldn’t be impossible without the support of our sponsors. Talking about mental health and suicide prevention is the only way to remove stigma and connect people with resources they need. This event brings together over 1000 health-minded Michiganders from Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor and surrounding communities.
We invite all sponsors to set up a booth on the field and take advantage of the opportunity to connect face-to-face with this wonderful community of professionals, students and families.
We have five levels of commitment that can work within most budgets.
We hope you will join us.
Sponsorships begin at $250
