Yoga is a powerful tool for transforming the body, mind, and spirit. Yoga can also also be used as a force for good in the world. I’ve shared a good deal about how we are doing that with the yoga nonprofit, Three and a Half Acres Yoga. Today I wanted to share about another organization that is harnessing the power of yoga to make a difference.
Yoga Gives Back is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to empowering women in India through microfinance and education. The organization was founded in 2007 by Kayoko Mitsumatsu, a yoga practitioner who was inspired to give back to the country that gave her the gift of yoga.
India is the birthplace of yoga, but it is also a country where poverty and inequality are rampant. Yoga Gives Back is working to address these issues by providing microloans to women in India who want to start their own businesses. By giving these women access to capital, Yoga Gives Back is helping them to achieve financial independence and break the cycle of poverty.
But Yoga Gives Back is not just about providing financial support. The organization also recognizes the importance of education in empowering women. That’s why they offer scholarships to girls in India who would not otherwise be able to attend school. By giving these girls access to education, Yoga Gives Back is helping to create a brighter future for the next generation of women in India.
Yoga Gives Back is committed to promoting awareness of the issues facing women in India. They host events and workshops around the world to educate people about the impact of microfinance and education on women’s empowerment. By raising awareness, Yoga Gives Back is helping to build a global community of support for their mission.
If you are a yoga practitioner who wants to make a difference in the world, consider supporting Yoga Gives Back.
