"I am proud that Westchester is home to so many businesses and organizations that are steadfast in their dedication to their communities," Mayer said. "Each business or organization that I have had the pleasure of honoring has helped bring our community closer in extraordinary ways. They offer diverse services, but they share a spirit of unity and positivity that can be felt throughout the municipalities that make up our District. I am grateful to each one for their generosity and commitment to their community."

Prana Prenatal Yoga offers support, guidance and a sense of community for women going through pregnancy, childbirth and new motherhood. Offering prenatal and postnatal classes and workshops, the studio was nominated for its important work in Westchester and beyond, for providing physical and mental health resources to all individuals, and for supporting women through their pregnancy, childbirth and parenting experiences.

"We are so grateful to be a trusted and valuable resource for expecting and new families in Westchester," Marissa Goulbourne, owner of Prana Prenatal Yoga, said. "It was truly humbling to have Senator Mayer share with us direct quotes she received from various community members, expressing the positive impact Prana has had on their lives. We look forward to growing through collaborations with organizations such as NYMilk Bank to continue serving Westchester’s perinatal community."
