I support Yoga Gives Back because I want to reciprocate, in some small way, the profound impact yoga has had on my life. I believe that to give back we must pay-it-forward, empowering women and girls in the motherland of these practices and philosophies to step into their true potential. I’ve also got two young nieces whose mother is from Bihar. They are gorgeous, inspired students who visit India every year, and who I believe will give back in ways that I can only dream of.
