The Yoga Alliance Foundation leverages yoga for social impact and fosters an expansive, accessible, and equitable yoga community.

The Foundation supports work in the following areas:

Broadening access to yoga’s healing potential
Fostering greater equity and more diverse representation within the yoga community
Expanding educational, service, and economic opportunities for yoga teachers

Mental Health Support for
Yoga Professionals

In holding space for others, yoga professionals often shoulder elevated levels of emotional exhaustion and burn-out- especially those experiencing marginalization and who have limited or no access to mental health support.

Well-Being Services provide mental health and well-being support for yoga professionals and their families facing barriers to these important services.
