Our foundation is in honor of and inspired by Teddy & how he lived his life.
Teddy Kradzinski was a musician — guitarist and singer for Apple Juice Jones — a yoga teacher and a friend to so many. He approached life with pure curiosity — experimenting with music, seeking a higher power through yoga, forming his own opinion on a topic and fostering judgment free conversation. He constantly reminded those around him that we never know what someone is going through — sending love to one another can radiate throughout the world. He was a vulnerable soul, his music and yoga teachings were a reflection of this. It didn’t matter to Teddy if he knew someone for 20 years or 30 seconds — he was always willing to stop, listen, and offer support.
Teddy physically left this world in September of 2021 from a fentanyl overdose after three beautiful years of recovery. As a foundation, we are committed to continuing what Teddy started through community, supporting one another, and maintaining a judgement free environment.
