It’s our mission to share the benefits of yoga, mindfulness and movement therapies with communities all around the world. This is how we do it and the impact we create…
We offer high quality specialised trainings in traditional and contemporary hatha, trauma-informed and community based yoga for passionate people from all over the world to transform their own lives and share these practices in their own communities. We offer full and partial scholarships to support access and diversity in yoga teaching.
As a social enterprise, we direct 25% of profits into community yoga programs around the world. And we recently launched Sharing Humanity – a community yoga movement that fosters connection and wellbeing, and supports increased access to yoga, embodiment and belonging for all.
Here are our partners and the projects we have supported in 2018/19:
