GY Gives Back — Grassroots Yoga Ventura

Learn. Grow. Give Back.

To us, being a community means giving back. A huge part of the Grassroots Yoga mission is to support those in the local community that need it most. Therefore, we donate 5% of our annual revenue back into the community through our local non-profit partner, RAKlife.

How it Works

WE GIVE BACK 5% OF EVERY DOLLAR TO CHARITY

It’s simple. A total of 5% of every dollar spent at Grassroots Yoga is donated directly back in to our community. Whether you are a Grassroots member, just dropping in for a class, or purchasing something from our retail lounge, you are directly contributing to the cause. We can’t wait to give back with you!

Non-Profit Partner

RAKLIFE

RAKlife’s mission is to create a movement through “Random Acts of Kindness” and help the less fortunate around the world. They believe a little philanthropy goes a long way. They are dedicated to developing a global culture that incorporates random acts of kindness into daily life. Through their actions, they raise awareness for a multitude of issues around the world, contribute to their remediation, and create sustainable improvements where possible.

Upon the formation of Grassroots Yoga, it was decided that longtime supporter, partner and friend RAKlife would be our in-house local non-profit organization.
