Social Justice

We believe that all people should have access to opportunities for education, healthcare, equal treatment under the law, and freedom from oppression. We support organisations working to bring these fundamental human rights to underrepresented populations.

Yoga Gives Back

Our Support
Who They Are
What They Do

Our Support

We are proud to pledge our official support to Yoga Gives Back. To date, we have raised and donated over $75,000. We are committed to helping them raise significant funding for their life-changing projects, whilst also providing resources and support to help them spread their global reach and advance their goal of raising awareness and funds to alleviate poverty in India.

Who They Are

Yoga Gives Back is a non-profit organisation dedicated to raising awareness and funds to support vulnerable women and children in
India. Kayoko Mitsumatsu founded YGB in 2006 to find a way for the global Yoga
community to help empower people in India who lack the means to build sustainable livelihoods. Their mantra of “For the cost of one Yoga class, you can change a life,” has been carried forward by dedicated supporters across the globe in over 30 countries

What They Do

By partnering with local NGOs in India, Yoga Gives Back has grown to assist over 2,400 mothers and children with micro-loan programs and educational funds with a minimum 5-year commitment to each person. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Yoga Gives Back has expanded their support network to include projects that provide women and children access to the Internet and basic computer education, as well as to sanitary pad making machines which provide women and girls with much-needed affordable and biodegradable high quality menstrual products whilst also creating a source of income for women in Yoga Give Back’s micro-loan groups.

COVID-19: Yoga Teachers and Studio Support Fund

Our Support

Our Support

This fund was launched in April 2020, to help provide vital cashflow during the COVID-19 global pandemic for Yoga teachers and studios, who run crucially important businesses at the heart of our community. We asked for our community to nominate Yoga teachers or local studios who were in need during this time, as well as to donate to the cause and in total we raised over $100,000.
