Social Impact

We Move Together is our social impact program and way of taking active steps towards making the world a better place through supporting our local communities. We know that when we move together, both on and off the mat, we’re stronger and more grounded.

We have chosen to activate this program in many ways and are continually learning, evolving, and refining.

YYOGA studios are located on the unceded ancestral territory of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw) and Tsleil-Waututh (səl̓ilwətaɁɬ) Nations. We would like to personally acknowledge that we are fortunate to live and work on these lands.

Who We Work With

We gain inspiration and momentum by connecting with individuals and organizations already doing the work to create real change.

We work with the passionately curious, the change-makers, the challengers, the activists, the seekers, the guides, the enthusiastic, and the genuine. It doesn’t matter to us if you’re powered by an organization (big or small) or the sweat of a single human working to do better.

What matters to us is that we work together to inspire conversations, practice listening, ignite passion, drive education and awareness, and invite change around things that matter to our communities.

In the past, we’ve donated studio space, funded teacher wages for classes both inside our studios and at external events, donated yoga mats, gathered goods donations, facilitated group fundraising, offered by-donation classes, donated a % of sales, funded event tickets, and shared cause messages with our community in the spirit of active listening and awareness.

Causes

Inclusivity and Access to Yoga: 

  • Our goal is to create opportunities for all people to practice yoga together. We know there is power in community so we work with those within our own to extend our reach beyond our studios and create opportunities for those facing barriers to practice. 

Health & Mental Health: 

  • We aim to support those who experience barriers to accessing services, including at-risk, marginalized and/or under-resourced youth.

Climate Change: 

  • We care about our planet and believe we have a strong responsibility to think ethically by partnering with local organizations that give back to our environment and communities.
