The Teaching for Equity program supports yoga professionals across the globe who serve for little or no pay in bringing the healing benefits of yoga to communities who have experienced marginalization.

Featured Work and Support

Broadening access to yoga’s healing potential

In 2022, the Foundation supported the integration of yoga into refugee assistance programs in Kenya, Poland and Spain, though a community-centered approach – a fundamental driver for our teachers and educators serving worldwide.

Fostering greater equity and more diverse representation within the yoga community

The Foundation has contributed to comprehensive yoga teacher training scholarship programs for trainees who have experienced marginalization, helping to expand diversity and representation among yoga teachers. To date, we have invested in programs serving over 100 trainees.

Expanding educational, service, and economic opportunities for yoga teachers

The Foundation is developing an easy-to-use survey instrument to track connections between yoga and social impact. This will help individuals and organizations to gather data showing how their yoga programs can improve health and well-being.
