At Yoga Gives Back, gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s a practice. Through the spirit of karma yoga and seva, we turn appreciation for yoga into meaningful action that uplifts the communities where these teachings began.
From May through July, our global community comes together for Gratitude in Action, YGB’s biggest annual campaign of community-led events around the world that transform practice into impact.
Each year, we gather in gratitude to give back to Mother India through our annual Global Gathering for India, celebrating the power of collective generosity and service.
Our 2026 Goal
This year, we are aiming high:
🎯 100 Fundraising Events Worldwide
🎯 $120,000 Raised
🎯 Supporting 3,500+ Women and Children in India
Through these efforts, participants help expand access to microloans, education, and life-changing opportunities for underserved families.
Who Can Participate?
This campaign is open to everyone who feels gratitude for yoga and wants to give back:
- YGB Ambassadors
- Yoga studios
- Yoga and meditation teachers
- Wellness communities
- Individual practitioners and supporters
Whether your community is large or small, your participation becomes an act of Karma Yoga—gratitude in action.
Host a Fundraising Event
Hosting a fundraiser is simple, creative, and deeply meaningful. Events can be online or in person, and can take many forms, such as:
- A yoga class or workshop
- A meditation or sound healing experience
- A community tea gathering
- A wellness circle or retreat

Every event—big or small—helps expand opportunity for women and children supported by YGB.
