The Yoga Foundation is an Australian registered charity established in 2009 (DGR 1 status).

We receive no government funding and rely on fee for service, donations, grants and our own fundraising efforts. We are very grateful to have won grants from many funding bodies including the City of Sydney, Besen Family Foundation, Lululemon’s Here To Be grant program, the Sage Foundation, Vitality Brands and have received donations and pro bono support from generous supporters including the Vasudhara Foundation, Yoga for Good Foundation, Billabong Retreat, Real Active, the William Buck Foundation and the Yoga Institute.

Donations are used to provide trauma-informed programs for our target groups of at-risk youth, women affected by domestic violence and men whose lives are are risk due to serious mental health concerns. You can donate here to support our work.

Some of our programs are ongoing and have run for over five years; others have an eight week duration and can run between one and four times a year depending on client funding, objectives and other factors. Our programs are free to the participants.
