About Yoga Gives Back (YGB)
Guided by our mission to “give back to India, the birthplace of yoga,” Yoga Gives Back has worked for 19 years since 2007 to empower underserved women and children across India. Headquartered in Los Angeles, YGB is a nonprofit organization supported by a global network of 200 yoga teachers and community leaders across 32 countries. Today, our education and economic empowerment programs support more than 3,500 women and children in India. YGB has also grown its community in Japan for more than a decade. Twenty-eight leading teachers from Japan’s yoga community currently serve as YGB Ambassadors, helping raise awareness and expand our mission.

Exclusive Tour and Visit of Zōjōji Temple
With a history spanning 600 years, Zōjōji is one of the seven major temples of Jōdo Buddhism, the ancestral temple of the Tokugawa family, and home to the Black Amida Buddha, revered for bringing victory and good fortune.
Participants will enjoy a rare guided experience through areas of Zōjōji that are normally closed to the public, visit the temple buildings throughout the grounds, and learn about the temple’s rich history.
