Yoga Gives Back was founded in Los Angeles seventeen years ago. We aim to channel gratitude among the global yoga community into empowering underserved women and children in India to build sustainable livelihoods. 300 million people enjoy the practice of yoga. The industry is estimated to generate 100 billion dollars in 2024. If the fraction can be redirected to our mission, we can effect dramatic change.
You can also support by shopping at the online auction, donating items, or sponsoring the event. Thank you to our in-kind sponsors below! Please email info@yogagivesback.org if you have any questions.
Details of each program, parking etc. will be sent to you closer to date for all the registrants.
