YOGA GIVES BACK
One by one, making a global impact

Yoga transforms. Asana by asana, you build your practice. Your outlook changes, you make connections. You begin to take your practice beyond the mat, into your life. Simple moves lead to monumental change.

Ancient Indians devised yoga, then shared it with the world. But while the rest of us reap the benefits of their wisdom, modern day Indians struggle to survive. One in four of India's 1.1 bil- lion population lives below the government poverty threshold of 40 cents a day. Nearly half the world's poorest people call India home. In this lopsided equation, the advantage is ours.

Using micro credit, we can help put this in balance. Just like your practice, micro credit builds on small steps to make big strides. Teaming up with the microfinance giant Grameen Foundation, Yoga Gives Back directs support where it's needed first. Your entire contribution goes to a spe- cific person for a specific purpose. For less than the price of two yoga classes, you will funda- mentally change a life.

Compassion expands your practice. Express your compassion beyond the mat, beyond the stu- dio, across the globe. Join Yoga Gives Back.
