過去10年間、ミナはヨガを学び、練習することに専念してきた。彼女の練習は、日々の経験にさらなる深みと明晰さ、そして喜びをもたらしてきた。指導を通して、このことをヨガのコミュニティと分かち合うことが好きである。彼女の指導は、解剖学の勉強と深い知識により、アライメントに規律があります。生徒が自分自身と再びつながったことを感じられるような、魂が育つようなクラス作りに励んでいる。

We are truly proud to honor
Nobel Peace Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus
as the recipient of the 2021 YGB Namaste Award, especially as Dr. Yunus inspired YGB’s birth fourteen years ago with his revolutionary microcredit.
Nobel Peace Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus
as the recipient of the 2021 YGB Namaste Award, especially as Dr. Yunus inspired YGB’s birth fourteen years ago with his revolutionary microcredit.
Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus is the father of both social business and microcredit, the founder of Grameen Bank, and of more than 50 other companies in Bangladesh. For his constant innovation and enterprise, Fortune Magazine named Professor Yunus in 3月 2012 as “one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.”
In 2006, Professor Yunus and Grameen Bank were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Today, Grameen Bank lends out over $2.5 billion a year to 9 million poor women on the basis of trust only, no collateral with a repayment of over 98%. The impact of microcredit in enabling millions of people to lift themselves out of poverty helped to expose the shortcomings of a traditional banking system that denied its services to those who needed them most—the world’s poorest people. Dr. Yunus has expanded his micro credit to a much broader concept as Social Business, a selfless business whose purpose is to bring and end to a social problem.
He is the recipient of 61 honorary degrees from universities across 24 countries. He has received 136 awards from 33 countries including state honors from 10 countries. He is one of only seven individuals to have received the Nobel Peace Prize, the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal.

Ambassadors of the Year 2021
Daphne Tse joined Yoga Gives Back as Ambassador in 2014 soon after we met at the Asia Yoga Conference in Hong Kong. Daphne has been a dedicated Ambassador, sharing YGB’s mission and fundraising on our behalf, while touring in Japan and many other international events. During the COVID-19 crisis in India in 2021, Daphne demonstrated incredible leadership by engaging more than 80 artists and teachers from over twenty countries to come together for a three-day, live streaming event – “A Global Gathering for India.” It was truly an epic event, raising nearly $50,000 to support our fund recipients in India with emergency relief and programs of empowerment.
Jocelyn Solomon joined Yoga Gives Back in 2019 and has been passionately advocating for YGB through her successful fundraising classes, subsequently joining the YGB Board of Directors in 2020. Jocelyn was instrumental in securing YogaWorks’ commitment to their long-term collaboration with YGB to reach out to their large national community with our mission. We are truly grateful, as well, for her creation of the YGB Ambassadors Forum with Ambassador Maneesh Kalra, to connect and grow this very powerful community of yoga teachers from around the world.
