BEHIND THE ORGANIZATION:Yoga Gives Back
Yoga Gives Back began in 2006 when founder Kayoko Mitsumatsu started practicing yoga at YogaWorks. As a dedicated student, she developed a tremendous sense of gratitude for the gifts of yoga. That gratitude bloomed into a desire to give back to India – poverty and related social issues are an ongoing crisis, and Kayoko was determined to make a difference.
For the cost of one yoga class, you can change a life.
– Kayoko Mitsumatsu
