Heal One World is an amazing place that has provided me with the opportunity to practice yoga, zumba, tai chi, and pilates. Based in a community where these forms of exercise aren't readily available, I must applaud Skye Kelly for providing us with donation-based access. Everyone in the community is grateful Heal One World exists. The space where we meet is absolutely perfect and every single teacher provides quality, top-notch instruction.
The greatest ! I love the free classes they have changed my life!
I have been able to attend the Film Festival over the years & it has been so enlightening. I wish everyone I know could attend & it was world famous. I hope that will happen and very soon!
Heal One World is healing Our World!
The Awareness Festival is an amazing film festival! I had the privilege of having my film in the festival in 2021 and I've been going every year since. I always find myself coming away from the festival having learned something new, or motivated about a new issue or topic. This festival has a great selection of films and wonderful filmmakers to meet. I have nothing but great things to say about the festival and founder Skye Kelly. If you have the chance, you should consider going to their next fest! You won't want to miss it!!
I attended the Awareness Film Festival and it was an amazing experience! Also took part in a soundbite. WOW! Thank you for all you are doing!!
Thank you so much for all you do for the community! I am a supporter and have attended classes and the film festival. It has been a pleasure and I will continue to support!
This place is so important to our community. I have gone to several classes and each one has changed my life in a positive direction. Great teachers. Also attended online and it has been great!
An incredible non-profit lead by responsible and dedicated individuals. Their method of healing and building community truly changed my life.
Great experience as a student of a few in person and online classes. Such a great resource for the community
Heal One World and The Awareness Film Festival is an important and uncensored collective voice for the betterment of our global pluralistic societies and all of humanity...
HOW is amazing! They provide a wonderful diverse set of classes for all types of people and needs. I am so happy to know this organization and think the work they do for the community is incredible. Thank you Skye and Heal One World volunteers for all that you do!
Heal One World is an incredible organization. I'm so happy to have access to donation and free based yoga and wellness care. It's expensive out there and this organization has made life better for SO many people =) Keep up the good works!

I have been volunteering with Heal One World (HOW) since January of 2022 and I enjoy being a volunteer yoga teacher for my gentle yoga class! I met great students and amazing fellow teachers while volunteering with HOW.
I am happy to say I was a board member and helped this non profit expand to offer virtual classes. The board is amazing with dedicated members, especially Skye Kelly who is a literally Super Human with her dedication to serve the community! Hats off and I am happy to continue to support.
Super cool non profit. I helped with the Awareness Film Festival and took a few classes. It was a very positive experience and I hope to help again next year.
Very happy to report a completely positive experience with Heal One World. I have volunteered, donated, and taken classes. It has been a very good experience over the last 2 years and I look forward to more time with the organization. Make sure to check out the on line classes.
The classes I have been able to take a part in have been extremely valuable to me and means so much that people care enough to share their wellness knowledge. It is a very inclusive and welcoming non profit. I have taken mostly online but also in person classes. Both are amazing and I am very grateful they are continuing virtual classes past the pandemic. 5 stars!
Awesome experience with this non-profit. I have donated and lent advice for these excellent programs. I also have attend their excellent film festival and was very inspired. Highly recommend this non profit!
Heal One World helped transform my life. After 17+ years of being an alcoholic and living horribly, and not health conscious I cannot say enough about the non-profit.
My life was going down a downward spiral. I was facing depression and lost all my dreams. I had very to almost no hope, passion, purpose, and was facing depression.
I started to learn yoga, qigong, tai chi, meditation, and other curriculum since February 2022. And had I not found Heal One World I don't even want to imagine how horrible my life could have been. I was provided with tools to overcome my obstacles and challenges. Thanks to all the amazing instructors who volunteered to help others out in need, they might not know how much of a difference they are making in others lives and deserve to be acknowledged and rewarded and keep up the great work!!!
As a result, I am now 256 days no alcohol and been consistent in staying healthy. It took me nearly 6 months to see the light at the end of tunnel and I would have never gotten where I have had it not been for Skye's nonprofit.
I am healthier, happier, and have found joy again. And my dreams have come back to life.
I share my experience with family and friends all the time and grateful that I was able to share my experience on this platform. Thank you, Heal One World !!!
- I was on the road but happy to share a video anytime.
Happy to have helped volunteer with this non- profit for the last 5 years. It is cery rewarding to help people find wellness resources and be a friend and trusted teacher. I am excited to continue working with them for many years to come.
I have nothing but positive things to say about this incredible organization that has given me great guidance through one on one and group classes health and wellness instruction.
Thank you Skye, Kirstin, Jennifer, Su Rin and other teachers. You really make a difference!
I have been a volunteer for two years and have had the most amazing positive experiences with Heal One World. The other volunteers are all so passionate and talented. Skye Kelly is an amazing leader and I am proud to continue to support their efforts virtually and in person in Los Angeles.
I have been attending classes for three years. This non profit is an amazing addition to the world. These classes have changed my life for the better in many ways. Highly recommend attending and supporting this charity.
One weekend we had a dream play shop, i.e. playful work shop focusing on information relating to dreams. This included watching a documentary related to dreams, discussion of dream incubation, symbols, and interpretation. Pot luck was served, as the play shop was overnight. While the participants slept, the presenter extended Dream Reiki energy to enhance sleep. The next morning, yogurt, fruit, and bagels were served. Art supplies were provided and each participant created a cover for a dream journal and documented their first dream, which was shared and discussed in the group.
Currently serving as a Marketing Intern for HOW. I've enjoyed learning more about our classes as well as working with our team to create postings. This experience has allowed me to advance my personal marketing skills and work with an engaging team. The organization is very focused on creating a healthy and safe space that encourages others to join in. Highly recommend all of our classes as you received personal attention by each of our qualified teachers.
Taken many classes and attended the film festival- so impressed with everything this organization does. Excited to continue to see about online classes.

Heal One World, Awareness Film Festival and Skye are amazing!! They do really amazing work bringing community together over issues that truly matter. Skye is a really understanding and empathic human being which makes working with her a joy and for a very open and fun work environment. She’s one of the best managers I’ve ever encountered on a job because she is open to talk to if any issues arise and will gently work with you to make sure the problems are solved and makes you feel better for talking to her. This was one of my favorite work experiences in my life because all the people on our team became friends and still have weekly zoom chats and the work the film festival does is so amazing ✨
Love this organization- had only positive classes and experiences over the last 3 years and now also having virtual has been a lifesaver! Very glad there is this resource and I have recommended to many friends in need.
Awesome experience during the Awareness Film Festival, also took some classes and the teachers were great and kind! Hope to volunteer again in the future!
Amazing experience with their classes. Such a welcoming envirornment and place. Trying the online classes now as well. Really grateful for this organization!

I have been a volunteer teacher with Heal One World for two years now- it is an amazing organization and I have really felt like I have a difference in the lives of people in the community. It is very well run and organized and I am proud to continue to teach classes remotely during COVID-19!!
Have had a very positive experience with classes and meeting new people interested in getting their health back with exercise and self care. This is so very needed!
Great online classes- so grateful they went online during pandemic- amazing teachers and caring volunteers. Thank you!
So glad to have worked with the Awareness festival team and being able to meet the filmmakers of outstanding features, documentaries and short films. Eye opening films and also very informative. The event was virtual but did not feel like one because of it being completely live. Loved the closer to real-life version of table and seat arrangements and the village map to interact with guests. The fest also had a live red carpet and parties!
Great experience!
This wonderful studio has helped me grow as a person. It is a safe, nurturing, and supportive. I am so thankful for my experience here both as a teacher and as a student. To be providing this wonderful gift and skill to those who need it for FREE is proof that this comes from the heart. Thank you HOW for all that you do!
Improving balance, clarity , strength & life style from within are just a few of the gifts received from Heal One World! Thanks to. Ms. Skye Kelly and her compassionate team of professionals , I am evolving through the ancient practice of Yoga & Healthy Living!

A wonderful local studio focusing on serving the community with a wide range of free yoga, reiki, and meditation classes.
This is an excellent non-profit. It has great teachers who give their heart and soul into teaching. And is truly beneficial to all who want to join the yoga community.
It is a great nonprofit. They are very caring. It was fun volunteering for Heal One World. Skye Kelly is great leader.

I had a lot of fun volunteering for Awareness Film Festival and met lot of good people. I watched a lot of great documentaries. The event honoring Lisa Vanderpump and James Maslow was thoughtful and fun. The vegan dinner was delicious. The panels were insightful and intimate. I really enjoyed women filmmakers panel. They talked a wide range of topics from mindfulness being taught in schools, health benefits of yoga, and personal experiences as filmmakers.
Have been helped so much by the classes offered here at how. Great caring and well trained teachers/volunteers.
Very grateful they are here in my neighborhood.
I have been teaching at Heal One World for over a year and it has been the most rewarding experience. The studio Is beautiful and treated with care and all of the students are so grateful and invested in their wellbeing and the community at large. I am very happy to be associated with Heal One World.
I love my classes at heal one world. The yoga, meditation and reiki classes have literally changed my perspective, attitude and life! Thankful for this free resource in LA.
Heal One World is a place that welcomes everyone. The teachers are inviting and holds space for new and seasoned yogis. There are daily classes that include yoga, reiki, and meditation.
It's a place where people can comfortable step foot into their first yoga or reiki class.
I have been volunteering for a few months and I am so happy to be a part of this organization. It is the most rewarding class I get to teach. Wonderful participants and awesome leadership.
I've volunteered my time and PR/Marketing skills with Heal One World for over four years. The reason is simple, Skye Kelly, leader of this troop has a heart of gold and an incredible life story which empowers everybody who comes on board to help. I feel inspired and humbled and my time feels completely worth spent with this organization.
I have received awesome healing treatments at this non profit, it is amazing and done on sliding scale. I have had chronic back and neck issues and this has been a real god-send for me. I also want to try the classes offered, like Meditation and Tai Chi. Very happy that this program exists. Can only say positive things!
Such a beautiful organization. I am a volunteer Teacher at Heal One World, and it's my favorite class to teach each week. They do such an amazing job offering classes and resources to those in need. The students in class really show a deep love for the practice and for the services that Heal One World provides. It's a deep honor to volunteer here and to be a part of the work Heal One World is doing.
Great experience while I was volunteering and I feel so motivated by the students I taught. I moved away so I could no longer volunteer as actively as I once had, but it was a beautiful, touching experience and the students were very grateful and their lives were very enriched by this studio being there! I applaud all of the volunteers and look forward to volunteering more.
HEAL ONE WORLD is a great organization to be apart of. The members are very polite and professional. I enjoyed interning with Heal One World for the Awareness Film Festival in 2018. Customer service is a great portion of the internship and having an amazing team, allowed for a great experience. S/O to Skye for being an amazing, bright, motivated and open minded leader for the organization. Thank you very much.
Amazing classes, I have loved the Reiki classes as well as the yoga and meditation. I go as much as I can and knowing my ability to pay is not a factor is such and amazing feeling. I feel like I have a support system and always feel welcomed. I hope I can support financially when I am back on my feet to make sure other people will have access to this amazing place. Thank you!
I am so happy I found Heal One World, I have taken part in classes and special workshops and it is such a valuable resource in our community. Thank you so much for all the time and care you give.
My time at Heal One World taught me a lot of intangible skills that I needed. These skills can go from interacting with clients to coordinating events. I enjoyed the friendliness and was moved by the passion a lot of the members of the organization had for serving the community. Although it wasn't a paid internship, Heal One World gave me an experience far more valuable than money.
It’s a very welcoming and inclusive company to join and participate to an organization that offers voluntarily experience for those who are considering joining non-profit organizations
Heal One World organization is a great non-profit for bringing awareness to different, social and health issues. They are also great with their volunteers, they make them feel like family.
I am proud to have volunteer with this great nonprofit organization. It gave me an opportunity to assist with the screening of so many films that bring awareness to the world such as humanity traffic, humanitarian work, animals abuse, environmental and political crises that occur not just in our neighborhood but around world.
Heal One World begins with healing the Mind, Body and Soul of people in need, one person at a time - and through it's fundraising arm, The Awareness Film Festival, extends healing from the individual to whole communitie around the globe. Working with this organization and it's visionary founder, Skye Kelly, has been an eye opening enriching experience, transforming strangers from all over the world into neighbors, friends and family.
I has an awesome experience with Heal One World during their film festival and volunteering for it. The festival was amazing with great films and people. The mission to bring awareness to todays issues is inspiring as is the goal to keep their studios running.
I had a great experience with Skye and the other volunteers. I look forward to helping again next year!!
Wow, Heal One World really cares about the community. The fact that everyone is a volunteer is incredible. The whole 5 years I have been coming here have been amazing. I do not know how Skye is able to do all that she does, and all of the volunteers she facilitates are equally committed and caring! Viva Heal One World!
It has been a great pleasure volunteering at Heal One World. Not only this experience of serving with a good cause, I felt everyone at HOW is mutually compassionate and understanding of each other and the community surrounding Los Angeles County. HOW is aware of the community health issues and have diligently addressing them by providing workshops and group activities. I would encourage anyone to take a second out of his/her time to know what HOW does for the community and benefit from their programs.
Heal One World is a great organization. I am so honored to be a part of what they are offering to the community. The beautiful people that show up week after week to the Reiki circles are so excited and grateful for every program HOW offers.
Heal One World is great. I'm a bootcamp teacher here and my experiences with the students have been great. Such a positive and nurturing atmosphere.
Heal One World is a great place to volunteer. I love the location, the participants are friendly, and other volunteers are supportive.
Heal One World is truly a special space. I have been a volunteer yoga teacher here for almost two years now, and you can tell that the community HOW serves is grateful to have access to wellness programs that would otherwise be too expensive or exclusive. It is located in a part of Los Angeles that is highly diverse, and it provides a place for people to move their bodies and minds, and also to be educated about their health and well-being. With their new management in place, they will be much more organized, and I'm excited for HOW's future.
I have been a participant of their yoga classes and they have been life changing. Having a place like heal one world in our neighborhood is surprising but very needed and welcomed. The teachers are so wonderful and inclusive. I was a complete beginner and now I feel comfortable and like a real yogi. Teachers Camilla, Adam and Leticia I have all taken and their classes have been great and supportive for all the students. I highly recommend Heal One World to donors, volunteers and participants.
HOW is a great organization that works to bring wellness and awareness to the surrounding community. I think people should be exposed to all modalities of healing and HOW does exactly that! Keep up the great work!
As an intern for Heal One World ("HOW") the past summer, I have found this non-profit to be a wonderful organization that seeks to help and provide for those most in need. Through my work, not only have I uncovered that HOW works to provide the local underserved community with alternative treatments not usually covered by insurance and also provides an online database to help connect low-cost clinics with folks in need, but also that HOW raises awareness for a variety of issues each year through hosting the Awareness Film Festival- providing a platform for all aspiring filmmakers who wish to raise awareness about and/or provide support for issues relating to Ecological, Political, Health/Well Being and Spiritual topics
I am volunteer and love the positive impact the org has on the community. We are able to reach a diverse group of people that wouldnt otherwise he exposed or be anle to afford the classes. It is very well organized and amazing how all are volunteers and yet runs so smoothly. So glad I am able to help and be a part of somethimg so positive and impactful.
I was so impressed by their class offerings, the teachers are talented and caring and made me feel welcomed. I tried Tai Chi, Meditation and many Yoga classes. I also attended their film festival and it was filled with many awesome films. I am very thankful for this community resource!
I had a wonderful experience with the organization and recommend it to everyone looking for an internship or to volunteer.
Heal One World is a true community resource and provides excellent healing and yoga. I've had a wonderful session with Skye and also love that they do the Awareness Film Festival which illuminates important issues that humanity faces today.
Heal One World is a truly great charity. Anybody who has a desire to better themselves, and become healthier and happier can find activities that fit their interests and needs, regardless of their level of income. All members of the community are welcome to take advantage of the great programs offered at H.O.W. There is no minimum donation and nobody is turned away due to inability to pay.
While doctors do care about preventative and complimentary medicine, it is not a priority for them because they have their hands full with more pressing issues. Communities depend on places like HOW to provide and guide patients through preventative measures they can take to improve their physical health and mental well being.
I am honored to be a part of an organization that has a positive effect on so many people's Lives.
Heal One World aims their focus on making sure they succeed at their goals and that is keeping people on a healthy path, and providing the public the world of cinematic entertainment from independent filmmakers. As long as I have been with them, they have been growing with supporters.
Good work H.O.W.
I have attended the film festival and from that learned of heal one world. I have now linked heal one world to offer yoga classes at our shelter and they also work with the Venice family clinic, senior centers and youth. I am very impressed by their offerings and
ethics. I look forward to our future collaborations.
I am glad I have had the opportunity to volunteer for an organization deeply involved with the surrounding community. The yoga/fitness classes are all donation based and provide access to all groups of people. If you live near check out the diverse set of programs and events that Heal One World offers.
Heal One World is such a special place. It provides a spiritual outlet, through its classes, to those who might not otherwise be able to have access.
The space is beautiful and you can feel the love the moment you walk through the door.
Amazing organization :)
I love teaching classes at how. It is a joy to be of service at a place so inclusive and driven by pure goodness and not greed. My students are appreciate and dedicated, it is my favorite class to teach of many. You can really see the progress of yhe students and it feels like family. Namaste
Best place for yoga forever! The teachers and volunnteers are very dedicated, and the place is neat and wonderful.
Feels like home.
I serve on the board and I am always amazed at the things we are able to accomplish as a all volunteer led and run organiztion. The amazing teacher volunteers are so wonderful and the great student volunteers who help put together the festival and health fair. It can't go unsaid the fearless Skye Kelly leads the way with unwavering fortitude! I love being a part of this organization from being a patient to being on the board!
I was so impressed by the classes I had at the studio on Pico and also at the Venice family clinic. Great teachers, very patient. The instruction was easy to follow and I was given a lot of individual attention. They also have a great film festival in the Fall!
Heal One World & it's many highly-qualified volunteer professionals in self-healing modalities has always responded o my requests for assistance! They always far exceed expectations in a variety of ways.
I work as a coordinator of Let's Move! West LA, a local project of First Lady Michelle Obama's National effort to '...eliminate childhood obesity within the current generation...'. We are structured collaborative consortium of local health & wellness organizations & activists seeking to provide access to a broad range of health & wellness direct services to family groups in community-based settings.
In this regard Heal One World leads the over 20 organizational member/supporters that are aligned with my Let's Move! west LA projects.
My primary role as coordinator is responding to frequent requests by a neighborhood school, parks directors, teacher training facilitator to supply qualified resource leaders for participation in upcoming events.
Heal One World responds consistently to events with neighborhood councils; churches; schools; child care programs or school Health Fairs more than any other participating Let's Move! WLA member organization.
I am eternally in gratitude for this loyalty shown Mrs. Obama's Let's Move! effort for improved health outcomes here in Los Angeles. Additionally I marvel at the professionalism displayed by their volunteers when assigned to projects that may not have clearly defined roles.
The Heal One World methodology (since 2009), is hallmarked by it's capacity to be flexibly adaptable in it's delivery of services. In low-limited income areas that possess the greatest need for their menu of 'self-help healing' modalities heal One World again is a leader in Los Angeles.
I'm not certain how Let's Move! West LA could function at current levels without a skilled, experienced organization such as Heal One World to work with on such a regular basis.
Thank You, Henry E Hall, Volunteer/Event Coordinator, Let's Move! West LA
I was up late about 3am feeling very depressed. Someone had told me about this site, but I never took the time to visit. Scrolling through my bookmarks Voila!!! I started reading, watching videos, listening to Music. Then I realized it's 6a.m. I was laughing Dancing and having a very good time, Gee where did my depression go? I decided to visit HOW, met Skye Kelly and the rest is history. Thank you How and Skye for bringing a Senior back to Life!
Love You Dearly!

I love this place! Awesome teachers and great classes. I love taking part in community events too, like a clean up we did on Pico Blvd. I have tried the meditation and yoga classes and hope to try tai chi too. It really does seem like a place where everyone is welcomed as a friend and I was very comfortable even though I had never tried either before. Thank you Heal One World
Heal One World is a great place to learn about new ways of relaxation and holistic health. While volunteering, I learned quite a bit and tried various types of meditation. I also observed the great enthusiasm during yoga and zumba classes. Everyone who came to class was always very friendly and seemed to have created a community. The founder is very passionate in her work and shows interest in doing more and creating a retreat center. Although I was not aware of and did not practice any of the techniques taught here, I was still welcomed and managed to learn a lot. It is a great non-profit and more people should be aware of its great contribution to the community.
H.O.W!
How do we live a long healthy life? Having H.O.W. (Heal One World) has changed my own life for the better and forever and I've only been participating for a year and a half or so here. Heal One World, means heal my own world to me, along with accepting everyone else has just this world. So I want to get through this world feeling I tried to be as healthy which makes me happy as possible and if this was the major focus of more of the majority it would change this world. Healthy is a broad term I use to encompass the body along with the soul and mind. Healing yourself is easy b/c HOW nurtures and makes it a lifestyle.
Taking the yoga classes regularly is something I have never been able to do before HOW. I had taken them here and there as electives in high school and college making me love yoga. I lack discipline, yoga teaches discipline. Coming to practice gives you energy not takes, so I hope after some time of staying dedicated to classes that HOW has always offered on a schedule that is always there for me, I will be able to keep my own schedule better, live simpler, take less risk and love.
The instructors donate their time to lead the classes, so I really feel good about giving to HOW. The instructors are also there to spread awareness and share their healing tools. When I arrive it's always welcomed and I feel I am with friends, opportunity to be with other people striving to be better, teachers and students, HOW fits my needs by connecting kindred spirits. I love the feeling in a class at HOW when I think of the crazy world of LA outside around us and how they don't know right here there is a small group of people that don't care about that right now, we are in our own bodies, our own worlds and relaxing while millions are stressing. Good energy attracting good energy.
I thank the friend often that was a yoga instructor in my path that told me I could come to another class she leads at HOW, Heal One World is a gem I couldn't believe I came across.
Heal one world is a great place to practice activities that nourish the soul and connect with caring, passionate and talented people ! I volunteered through the awareness film festival which, thanks to the hard work of a few courageous and motivated people helped promote films that make a difference in a beautiful and generous way ! Great work, keep it up Skye !
I have been a patient for 2 years now and I have seen numerous benefits from the treatments and free classes I have taken. the yoga instructors are all so friendly, helpful and on point. I love the new zumba and meditation classes. There is always something new and it feels like such a welcoming place. I love HOW and have made new friends that are like minded from it. never would have met them otherwise and they are my neighboors. The treatments form Skye have changed my life and I am now able to work without pain for the first time in 20 years. i cannot speak highly enough about HOW. Thank you!
I serve as both a volunteer and a client at Heal One World. I have started receiving cranial sacral treatments from Skye here and already consider these to be life changing for me. I find so much admiration for Heal One World and it's role in our community and have been inspired to be present at the studio to witness the wonderful effect that the classes have. I am inspired by everything I am a part of here and look forward to participating more and more in this beautiful community.
I am so glad that I found Heal One World. It is a phenomenal place that offers amazing classes. I have received quite a few treatments from there as well and needless to say I'm hooked. Everyone is so nice and friendly. It is definitely a place to check out.
The fact that such an organization even exists is phenomenal. It basically amounts to a public service, where an non-profit is actually providing the community with ways to heal their own body.
I've had great experiences with the cranial work done by Skye. She has a gentle touch, and her funny insights help alleviate tension.
Some of the more Eastern practices are a little out of my personal interests, but the teachers all seem to be really chill people, and hell, I'll try something new.
Attended several yoga classes and events with Heal One World both in Los Angeles and at Sundance in Park City. Always top notch events, with extremely friendly and talented volunteers offering their services to help heal and educate both individuals and the community at large. A great organization serving a great cause.
So impressed with Heal One World and the work they do in the community. The cranial sacral work that I have had done with Skye has affected deep change and healing in my body and with each session we get to new layers. I am thrilled and grateful to be able to experience this level of healing and balance.
I found Heal One World when it first opened, and watched it grow and expand to offer many services to anyone who needed them. I volunteer to help out a lot but I have experienced many of the services first hand such as yoga, Reiki healing, tai chi, Zumba, ayurvedic food demonstrations, vegan potlucks, acupuncture, the Awareness Film Festival, and many film screenings which bring attention to important world issues in need of being addressed. I absolutely love everyone who works/volunteers, and all the positive energy and love shown for all. Most importantly I have seen this non-profit organization help so many people. I highly recommend checking Heal One World out.

Heal One World is an excellent non-profit that helps many people by bringing services, fitness, fun, & knowledge to those in the public that may otherwise not have had access to it. Some of what I have experienced are the yoga classes, zumba fitness, Reiki healing classes & services, vegan potluck, awareness film documentary movie nights, talks on alternative medicine such as herbals, energy healing, and other homeopathic therapies. There is something at HOW for everyone, all to benefit your health & wellness, and anyone i have ever met here has been nothing but wonderful. I am a health care professional & I highly recommend checking out HOW!!
H.O.W. has been a fantastic place for me teach. the students are eager to learn and very appreciative. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Each teacher Ive met is dedicated to their discipline and gives of themselves freely. It's a great group of people and a wonderful organization. Stop by for a class!
This was a confusing and difficult experience. The woman who runs the nonprofit was snappy and very ungrateful for her volunteers. I would not recommend this nonprofit to anyone.

This review is from Lacey-Ann Bryant who volunteered for 6 months in 2012. She was asked to stop volunteering because she did not show up or call numerous times for events including her own event, without apology and with the reason she "overslept" or "forgot". After she was asked to cease being a volunteer, she was upset and made slanderous remarks. We wish Ms. Bryant the best with her recovery from any traumas, but when you commit to serve others you need to show up. Ms. Bryant has continued to use her time with us on her resume and has given dates and tasks beyond the scope of actual commitment.
I would like to say one thing: Heal One World is a very safe environment meant for healing. I was an Intern over the summer and I had the chance to observe the yoga classes and some cranialsacral trou are treatments. First thing I noticed was that the yoga instructors definitely enjoy teaching. They cater to all levels of Yogis. They give those with more experience to try next level and beginners the chance to learn and perfect. Skye Kelly is amazing. I sometimes wonder if she is secretly Wonderwoman because she never sits down long enough to rest. Her energy and zeal for Heal One World--for people is something to be admired. She performs professional Cranialsacral treatments on donations. Her goal is to help heal. That is what Heal One World is for; it is for healing and learning how to heal. The mind, body and soul are connected and in this space you will learn how to soothe all three through many avenues. Great space. Great atmosphere. Great Organization.
Heal One World is a wonderful community space that serves people from all different backgrounds, races, socioeconomic class, etc. It provides a safe space for people, most of whom couldn't afford a to practice in a fancy Los Angeles yoga studio, to learn about yoga, meditation and other ways of healing and nurturing the body and mind.
Great involvement beyond the studio through the Awareness Festival and other volunteer opportunities such as Make A Difference Day. All the clients I encountered are always ecstatic and happy with Heal One World.
I had a wonderful experience with Heal One World. Heal One world opened my eyes to different healing methods along with a involving the Los Angeles community in different social, economic, environmental issues occurring around the country and world. Everyone who works with Heal One World is a volunteer. Everyone is passionate about working with individuals in need along with enlightening people in the community about the global community. Heal One World opens their doors to everyone. Heal One World is very accommodating and respectful and accepts anyone who walks in the doors. Heal One World has helped thousands of people and has the potential to reach out to even more. I am so inspired by Heal One World and their accomplishments. I hope to work alongside and with Heal One World again!
After seeing numerous doctors (western & holistic) for many years with no success, Skye was able to pinpoint exactly what my problem was. With Skye's treatments for the past 8 months I continue to improve and see life changing results. I was glad to have found her!!!
From her healing therapies, her Awareness Film Festival, her yoga studio, Skye has a clear vision of human healing and what she wants to achieve to help others.
I am so proud to be on the board of this organization, the Executive Director and all of the volunteers go above what you can imagine to make a difference in this community, across Los Angeles with Bresee, Venice Family Clinic and more. The fact that everyone is a volunteer is an incredible feat. This is an organization that is going places, spreading healing, knowledge and empowerment. I only wish I could do even more. I am inspired everyday but their work that I get to help foster in small ways.
Heal One World offers a unique service to a community in need. All of the volunteers selflessly offer their time to better the lives of others through the practice of yoga as well as other forms of healing. I enjoyed my time working along side Skye; she's an inspiring and passionate individual. I highly suggest volunteering for this organization or stopping in for a class!
I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THEM BEFORE TILL 1 DAY I WAS ON A PLANE RETURNING FROM SPAIN THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF A MAGAZINE ON THE PLANE THAT ACTUALLY WAS RATING DIFFERENT TYPE'S OF INSURANCE CO'S AMERICAN HOSPITALS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. THEN THEY WERE RATING ORGANIZATIONS THAT ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY SAY AND THERES NO BULLSHIT. SO I PICKED HEAL ONE WORLD.
I GUESS I SHOULD THE EMBASSY--THEY ARE THE ONES THAT OWN THE PUBLISHING CO. THAT PRINTED THE ENTIRE MAGAZINE.
THANKS

Skye Kelly, founder of Heal One World is an amazing healer. I have been getting cranial sacral work from her and the work she does is out standing! Thank you so much Skye, without out your donation basis I would not be able to receive this wonderful healing work. You ate truly a God-send!
Heal One World is truly doing amazing things and bringing yoga to a community that might not have access otherwise. I got certified to teach so I could volunteer my time sharing the gift of yoga practice with others. I was thrilled to find HOW so quickly after getting certified and I really love my class. Skye has done an incredible job with this organization!
I was invited by a friend to join her for a yoga class at Heal One World. It exceeded my expectations, and I've since attended about six or seven classes on different days. The teachers are friendly and encouraging. Each of the three teachers that I had was very willing to spend additional time with students during and after class, explaining how to do poses properly in order to avoid undue stress or injury. They really have a passion for yoga and a desire to share the practice with others. The space is also very nice, and the donation-based system opens up the organization to the whole community.
I am a Yoga instructor at Heal One World. I have witnessed the transforming powers of Yoga in our students. The studio is a cozy cocoon. The Yoga classes are suitable for everyone, especially first time students and beginners. We also have Zumba, Pilates and Tai Chi. HOW is a jewel in this community. Skye and the instructors bring a healing, nurturing environment to an area that needs it. Heal One World is also involved in environmental clean up and regularly organizes community and beach clean ups. Skye produces a film festival that promotes global awareness and spiritual consciousness. I love Heal One World. Namaste'.
I have been teaching yoga at Heal One World for over a year and have found it to be an incredibly gratifying experience. It has been a privilege to bring the practice of yoga to wonderful students in an area of Los Angeles where yoga is not readily available (or affordable). Skye Kelly's vision and hard work have been essential to the creation and maintenance of this exceptional community space, and I am grateful to be a part of it.
I first learned about Heal One World in 2011, and have offered my professional services in pilates and acupuncture as a practitoner as schedule permits. I was drawn to donate time and services to this organization since it brings a combination of services, education and community into the surrounding neighborhood. I am continued to be impressed by the involvement in working with other local non-profits and crossing barriers by combining services with events related to the film industry and truly capturing the spirit of creating affordable access to services and awareness through both media and experience for both volunteers and participants in classes and events, as well as diverse range of topics and interests so there is something for everyone to benefit and check out.
Beautiful space and good to have donation-based yoga and healing classes in the Crenshaw area. The studio is making a difference in the lives of people who do not usually have access to alternative healing choices. The extent of Heal One World's outreach is astounding, from Venice Family Clinic to veterans to schools and more.
My experience with Heal One World exceeded my expectation. It's not that I never attended any kind of yoga class before. But the classes truly made a difference in my understanding of how to do yoga properly. I found my energy and physical strength increased. The best part of going to any of their classes is the personal interaction and the feeling of community. Besides the classes I have enjoyed the many events and activities offered. it is truly a special place for people to come together.
Heal one world is a beautiful community space that allows everyone is the community the opportunity to experience yoga, pilates and educational resources that they'd never have otherwise. So many need body movement and to learn how their bodies are effected by their actions but don't have a place to experience it. Heal One World is that place that young, old, poor, rich, educated and uneducated have a space to come and learn how movement can help their lives. I look forward to my pilates class every week.
Heal one world is amazing, I teach a beginner yoga class on Monday nights. It's my favorite class to teach all week. Watching people walk out of this place with a smile on their face is a beautiful thing. The name Heal One World really says it all!!!
Heal One World is a fantastic space that gives back to the community, promotes healthy practices, and brings good people together! Three cheers for the wonderful and fearless Skye Kelly.
I found this thru one of teh founders Skye Kelly. This is a wonderful place & the goals & helpin this dire community location is a fantastic effort to improve the lives of others who would never have the oportunity to be exposed to such a healing place.
I found Heal One World by accident. I was looking for the bike shop next door. It was a God send. Not only do I get to work with a great group of dedicated people, in a creative, intimate setting, but I can serve the community as well. In addition to sharing my skills and abilities, I learn about *diet, posture, exercise, and watch documentaries that include new releases. * Basically I get o eat great tasting, healthy meals.
HOW created magnificent healing results for me. I was in a car accident that left my severely whip lashed neck and back in swollen agony. Skye Kelly changed all that and in several sessions I was "walking tall" with neck, spine and hips in alignment. I will continue supporting Heal One World and Skye Kelly my entire life!
I started participating in Heal One World almost a year ago when complications from my Celiac disease left me with organ damage, nerve damage, and neurological issues that made it difficult for me to walk. I walked in the door feeling defeated and alone, and was doubtful that anyone could help me. Skye immediately agreed to do bodywork on me every week and became my greatest health ally, supporting me, encouraging me, and checking up on me. Her warmth and compassion are amazing, and the volunteers and instructors are just as wonderful as she is! I'm taking yoga (with the amazing Michele), meditation, and Reiki classes and am getting ready to start volunteering as a Reiki teacher here. What Heal One World has really given me though, is a new life. I'm now healthy--with no nerve damage, brain issues, or problems walking. The support, knowledge, and guidance I've received here have helped me to heal physically emotionally and spiritually. I highly recommend HOW and I know that whoever you are, HOW has classes and events that will help enrich your life.
Life changing is what I would call my experience at Heal One World. Once I realized this facility was in my neighborhood, I decided to take advantage of all it has to offer. From yoga to zumba to the classes offered on health and general well-being, I have learned so much and as a result feel stronger mentally, physically and spiritually. What’s also great about this place is that everyone is so nice and generous with information. In addition, the quality instruction provided by the various teachers makes this place a pure jewel of joy!
Heal One World is a fantastic organization that offers a variety of different services to the public. Not only are the yoga classes professional and fun, but the organization also has plenty of social awareness events. I would recommend Heal One World to any person looking to increase their personal health, support health for others, and share social awareness issues with others.
I was a volunteer for the Awareness Festival 2012. It was an awesome experience, with amazing people and films!!! There were so many to choose from and the filmmakers were all there and so gracious. I am happy that the fest supports the efforts of Heal One World. I was injured in an accident and these things have helped me so much! I cannot wait to volunteer again next festival!
I believe that charity work is so important and it makes us remember we are human beings. Charity work gives us a sense of healing. I have worked with the Epilepsy Foundation and World Visions which has been life changing. I also get to hear such wonderful stories from the beautiful work my sister has done with Heal the world.
I started volunteering at Heal One World about a month ago. It has been a challenging, active, fun experience. I would recommend it to others.
Attentive supervisor, uses time wisely. You really feel like you;re giving back since it offerss natural healing using yoga, meditation and tai chi

I am so happy to give a review for heal one world. I have donated some time as well as funds as part of their healthy living program on pico. The space is healing and has beautiful art and the yoga class was easy, yet I really felt a difference. It is great how they offer community classes on a donation basis, our area really needs this- I can't believe someone finally came here and is offering the classes and events, like films and open mic night...I love it! Thank you heal one world team for being an inspiration
From experience I have found that very few charities are directly impacting individuals - a lot generally look to fix bigger picture items. Heal One World is the first charity that I have found that directly impacts the individual - through free or low cost classes, clinics for low cost treatments and even ones not so common - forums, friendships and sometimes entertainment with a message through their Awareness Festival. I am fulfilled being a donor and helping out where I can - I encourage you to as well!
I have volunteered at heal one world for several months now and it has been incredibly rewarding to see this non-profit grow! They have an amazing space in an area very under-served in LA, I know I grew u here. They also do film stuff and each film I saw had an impact on my ways, be it eating better or avoiding plastic bags! I am proud to be involved in such a independent and meaningful cause- everyone is a volunteer and everyone really just wants to help people- its cool.
