THANK YOU.
Our annual campaign “Global Gathering for India” was a huge success thanks to your heartfelt support. Over 1000 people joined in 100 events in 15 countries, raising our goal of $50,000! These donations ensure 200 young girls to continue their higher education through YGB’s five-year SHE Scholarship for Higher Education, thus avoiding forced marriage or forced labor. YGB’s global community is seeding real empowerment and hope – together.
OUR HEARTFELT THANKS FOR THESE EVENTS!

WE DID THIS, TOO!
Many thanks to every one who donated to Harmony Slater’s “doTERRA Match Fundraiser.” We surpassed our goal of $15,000, and the total donation amount will be matched 100%. This is a huge gift for YGB’s campaign, as it is certain to empower more girls with higher education and digital access – both of which are so critical.
THIS IS OUR KARMA YOGA: SEVA.
It is wonderful to come together once a year to collectively express our gratitude for yoga as a global yoga community! This is an important movement of gratitude in today’s yoga world.
TAKE ACTION, #ONE MILLION YOGIS!
No worries if you missed joining us for this campaign. There are a variety of fun ways to take part throughout the year: hosting a class, donating, becoming an Ambassador, a sponsor or a volunteer. Take the action that suits you. If you have any questions, please email to info@yogagivesback.org.
