“As a woman who has run her own business for over 25 years, I’m passionate about creating opportunities for other women and girls to do the same. Yoga Gives Back shares that passion and has effectively impacted the lives and livelihoods of thousands of women and girls, empowering them through education, micro-loans and the self-advocacy to skillfully navigate deep-set social norms that have prohibited women from becoming their own person. Yoga has seen me through my own challenges and YGB’s circle of gratitude allows me to give back as I continue to receive – to stretch my yoga beyond my mat.”
