With this simple message from Mahatma Gandhi, Butterfly Spirit Yoga commits to always giving back a proportion of its earnings towards fair and ethical solidarity and sustainability efforts around our world.
In particular, helping those that do not have a voice, are minorities, women and children who are suffering emotionally or physically. Abundance is within. Be open, be generous.
If you are an organisation that would like to partner with us or an individual that has a cause close to you heart, we would love to hear from you.

EXPAND YOUR BREATH - OPEN YOUR HEART- NOURISH YOUR SPIRIT - MOVE YOUR BODY
"Learning to Know, Learning to do, Learning to Live & Learning to Be" are the 4 pillars of UNESCO's study on Education.
At Butterfly Spirit Yoga, we believe that education serves as a powerful and enduring tool in empowering individuals and preventing trafficking and other forms of gender violence, especially for women.
In alignment with our values, the proceeds from our group studio and in-person donation classes in 2022 held in Italy and Belgium were dedicated to supporting the impactful work of Yoga Medicine® Seva Foundation and its operating partner, Her Future Coalition.
Since 2005, Her Future Coalition has been tirelessly working in some of the most impoverished and vulnerable regions of India and Nepal, providing educational opportunities to over 700 students in the area. Their mission is to break the cycle of exploitation, poverty, and gender violence by offering education and comprehensive support services to survivors and vulnerable girls.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have contributed to this cause through their yoga practice, allowing us to give back and make a difference together.
This year, Butterfly Spirit Yoga showed its support for this vital cause through a live donation class. We came together for a grounding Hatha practice that welcomed yogis of all experience levels, guiding us to feel energized and balanced in body, mind and spirit.
In addition, we had the honor of co-hosting the incredible #YogiSayNOtoTraffick challenge on social media, joining forces with sponsors and fellow yoga teachers from around the world.
Together, we shared some beautiful open hearts and warrior poses, sharing powerful messages echoing the values that lie at the heart of #yogastopstraffick: Unity, Support, Survival, Courage and Gratitude.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all those who generously donated, showed appreciation and made valuable contributions to raise awareness within their own communities.
Your participation has been instrumental in spreading the message and making a meaningful impact.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Butterfly Spirit Yoga proudly partnered with @fit4prevention in support of @keepabreast.
Throughout the month, we organized a series of donation-based yoga classes dedicated to furthering their mission of "reducing breast cancer risk and its impact globally through art, education, prevention and action."
I am deeply honored and grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with my incredible team of highly skilled yoga teachers, from 5 continents and 20 different nationalities.
Together, we guided over 15 classes in more than 6 languages, bringing together practitioners from all around the globe.
The sense of unity and support among our diverse community has been truly inspiring, with generosity, respect, kindness, authenticity, and trust prevailing in every session.
I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for your friendship and unwavering support. Your presence and contributions have been a precious gift to me and have helped create a truly meaningful and impactful experience.
Butterfly Spirit Yoga proudly joined the global movement of Yoga Stops Traffick, a powerful campaign dedicated to raising awareness and providing assistance to survivors of human trafficking, sexual and domestic violence, modern-day slavery and child marriage.
As a part of our commitment, we hosted two special live donation classes: Vinyasa and Pranayama in French & Hatha Yoga in English.
These classes were an opportunity for our community to come together, practice yoga and contribute to a meaningful cause.
The entirety of the funds raised from this event were donated, allowing us to make a significant impact and support the vital work of organizations dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating survivors.
We are immensely grateful to all those who supported Butterfly Spirit Yoga, whether through personal donations or anonymous contributions, and to everyone who practiced with us in our classes.
Give back with your yoga practice.
