Empowering Yoga Communities
My journey through yoga is deeply rooted in the belief that it is not just a practice for the mat, but a powerful tool for positive change in the world. Yoga has the potential to heal, transform, and empower individuals, no matter their circumstances. That’s why I’ve chosen to support organizations that use yoga to uplift and empower underserved communities, helping them access the transformative power of the practice.
Yoga Behind Bars
Yoga Behind Bars (YBB) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the healing power of yoga to incarcerated individuals. By offering trauma-informed yoga and meditation classes, YBB empowers people behind bars to manage stress, improve mental and physical health, and build community. Their mission is to foster personal transformation and resilience in marginalized populations. YBB believes in creating a more just and compassionate society, where everyone, regardless of circumstance, has access to the benefits of yoga. Donations help fund teacher training, class materials, and expand their reach to more prisons and detention centers across the U.S.
Yoga Gives Back
Yoga Gives Back is a nonprofit organization that uses the power of yoga to help women and children in India escape poverty and build sustainable futures. By leveraging the generosity of the global yoga community, the organization provides micro-loans, education, and scholarships to underserved individuals. Yoga Gives Back focuses on empowering women, particularly mothers, to improve their family’s lives through entrepreneurship and education, ultimately helping break the cycle of poverty. Your donations contribute directly to these initiatives, providing long-term, meaningful impact.
