Yoga Hope: a non profit outreach organization dedicated to establishing rehabilitative yoga programs in residential facilities for underserved women in substance abuse recovery, poor and homeless women, and victims of domestic violence. The practice of yoga has been shown to produce positive motivational change by helping women regain their vital center of energy, satisfaction and stability. It can help reduce low self-esteem and poor body image, and greatly improves a woman's sense of personal empowerment, yet female populations who could benefit from this practice don't have access to it!

Yoga Gives Back: Non pro-fit organization. Our mission is two-fold. First, we send our funds to support impoverished women in India. Inspired by Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Dr. Muhammad Yunus’ revolutionary micro financing break-through, Yoga Gives Back supports micro credit programs in India which lend small loans to women in particular, who have no access to capital. Additionally, we developed “Sister Aid” programs where YGB donation directly funds education, vocational training and micro credit programs for struggling mothers, girls and orphans. Education and economic independence are the key foundation to build sustainable livelihoods.
Second, by reaching out to yoga studios, we build awareness via our fundraising classes and events.

Six billion dollars is spent on yoga in the U.S. alone each year. If a fraction of this can help the poor in India, we can make a difference, we can effect change.
