Tioka Tokedira Paris, France
“Yoga gave me a sense of calm and strength when I needed it most. Every day I am elevated by its principals. Every day there is much in my life that I owe to the physical and emotional discipline. My gratitude is limitless. Offering a portion of my efforts to women and girls in India who are the fire keepers of Yoga is an honor. I thank Yoga Gives Back for giving me this beautiful opportunity. “
