Yoga Gives Back
I found a cool post on Jigaroo about Yoga Gives Back, a non-profit that combines yoga with microfinance. Yoga Gives back teams up with the Grameen Bank to help get loans to recipients. With the slogan “For the cost of two yoga classes, you can save a life” I think that this is a pretty cool concept. It uses the Grameen group model of microfinance, but applies to the lenders rather than the recipients. Yoga Gives Back works with a specific group of people whom it teaches microfinance to, with the hopes of spreading awareness.
