In 2006, as I began to learn yoga asana and philosophy, it hit me very hard that I needed to use all my capacity to help others, especially the underserved women and children in India, the motherland of YOGA. I was benefitting so much from the daily practice of Yoga, I had to give back. I shared this idea with my yoga teacher and the studio manager who all supported the idea. That’s how Yoga Gives Back was born with our mantra — For the cost of one yoga class, you can change a life. “
– Kayoko Mitsumatsu, Founder of Yoga Gives Back
We aim to channel gratitude among the global yoga community into empowering underserved women and children in India to build sustainable livelihoods. 300 million people enjoy the practice of yoga. The industry is estimated to generate 100 billion dollars in 2024. If the fraction can be redirected to our mission, we can effect dramatic change.
