Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy 

Breath Body Mind Foundation (BBMF) is committed to offering courses and programs that support diversity, equity, and inclusion, where all teachers, students, BBMF creators, and board members are treated with respect and dignity. 

For the purposes of this statement, diversity refers to race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual identity, familial status, age, disability and socio-economic status; Equity is a process that ensures all people have the opportunity to contribute, develop, and grow despite historical, structural, legislative, racial, and socio-economic inequities; Inclusion is valuing, respecting, and encouraging the full participation of each individual in the life and leadership of the organization.

BBMF celebrates the rich diversity in the world. We will not tolerate discrimination, biases, harassment, or bullying of any kind. Our stress and trauma relief programs and teacher training courses support diversity by the inclusion of individuals regardless of race, socio-economic status, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, gender, or marital status. We are an organization that celebrates the richness of our community. 

As an organization and Board of Directors, we agree to be guided by these principles and pledge that they will be reflected in our vision, mission, strategic planning, programming, governance, and board composition. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion extends to our teachers, our students, and the programs we develop and support.
