We advocate for yoga, in its wholeness, and for all human beings in theirs. Yoga Alliance Foundation works to foster an expansive, accessible, and inclusive yoga community by leveraging yoga for social impact.

Program accomplishments

  • Through strategic partnerships with mission-adjacent organizations such as RefuSHE, Center for Trauma and Embodiment, Global Refuge, and Ompowerment, Yoga Alliance expanded access to trauma-informed yoga for refugee and displaced populations. Beyond direct service delivery, these partnerships advanced our mission by developing replicable models for trauma-informed yoga programming, creating sustainable training resources and establishing evidence-based practices that position yoga as a valuable component in comprehensive trauma recovery services. The collaborative approach ensured that programming remained culturally responsive and community-led, reflecting our commitment to equity and accessibility.

  • Yoga Alliance supported and collaborated with organizations such as Prison Yoga Project and Challenge to Change to evaluate the impact of yoga on participants' mental and physical health, as a tool to advocate for institutions to make a sustained investment in yoga as a critical service. Participant outcomes, while varying individually, consistently showed measurable improvements in reported sleep quality, perceived stress, and anxiety management. Yoga Alliance will use aggregated data from these and other impact evaluations to advocate for yoga to be included in more social sector programs and environments.
  • Yoga Alliance is partnering with organizations working to integrate yoga into other sectors such as healthcare, as a means to improve overall health and wellness. Yoga Alliance is collaborating with YogaX at Stanford Psychiatry on research to assess experiences, perspectives, barriers, and facilitators to integrating yoga into healthcare. This initiative seeks to advance yoga as a recognized, valued, and reimbursable therapeutic tool in clinical settings.
