How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Buy One, Give One Empowerment Model
    methodology: buy-one-give-one
    By linking each paid yoga teacher training enrollment to a scholarship for an underprivileged woman, we expand access to transformative education and create a reciprocal cycle of empowerment, because shared opportunity fosters dignity, leadership, and systemic change.
  • Online Self-Paced Accessibility Model
    methodology: online-self-paced-education
    By delivering yoga teacher training through fully online, self-paced programs, we increase global access for women—especially those in transitional life stages or underserved communities—because flexible, barrier-free education enables participation regardless of geography, schedule, or socioeconomic status.
  • Peer-Led Intergenerational Healing
    methodology: peer-led programming
    By engaging high school students as peer content creators to deliver yoga programming to incarcerated women, we foster mutual healing and leadership across generations, because peer-led models build trust, reduce stigma, and empower both creators and recipients as agents of change.
  • Reinvestment for Equitable Access
    methodology: reinvestment_model
    By reinvesting all proceeds from enrollments into funding yoga teacher training for underprivileged women and at-risk youth, we break economic barriers to certification and leadership, because sustainable funding models rooted in equity amplify long-term social impact.
  • Yoga-Based Holistic Empowerment
    methodology: yoga-based youth empowerment
    By using evidence-based yoga and contemplative practices, we improve mental, physical, and behavioral health for youth and incarcerated women, because integrating mind-body practices into education and rehabilitation builds resilience, reduces recidivism, and supports vocational transformation.
