This past January, Christine Rose, Owner of 4 Corners Yoga & Wellness, partnered with Boston Arts Academy Foundation to host a charity yoga class in recognition of Boston Arts Academy’s 25 years of providing transformative public arts education to our city’s youth.

Christine was introduced to Boston Arts Academy Foundation during the 2022 Champion Reception and was inspired by the mission of the work to support Boston Arts Academy’s students, many of whom live in Dorchester where her business is located.

Christine shared, “At 4 Corners Yoga + Wellness, we believe in COMMUNITY! We know how important the arts are as a means of release &  balance especially in today's world. We were excited to partner with BAA last year and again this year to celebrate & support the youth.  It means even more to us knowing that our staff has personal connections to the school as well!”

The class brought together the community for an hour of restorative yoga, and proceeds from class were donated to help fund BAA’s arts programming, as well as its Health & Wellness services.
