Our Giving Back
At Sahaja Yoga Mats that gives back, we are a for-profit-for-a-purpose, a business for good. We feel a social responsibility to every being on Earth. We are passionate about our communities and Mother Earth. So we hold in mind the ecological footprints we leave. Our Founder Judes Yang, feels truly blessed and grateful to the opportunities she has received through out her whole life.
During her darkest days of her mental health struggle, she received an abundance of love and kindness, a love that held here and helped her heal. This is why Judes created Sahaja Yoga Mats, to give back to others. To light up other peoples lives as her life has been.
At Sahaja yoga mats that gives back, we want to do more, to be more, not just for humanity but for our planet. So from the first day we wanted to provide a high end quality product that is eco-friendly and is going to last, instead of cheap lower end yoga mats to add to landfill.
Our luxury high performance, eco-friendly printed yoga mats are recyclable. The micro fibre towel is made from recycled plastics and bonded to a natural rubber base. And for every yoga mat we sell, we donate to charities and causes in need through i=Change.
When you make a purchase through Sahaja yoga mats that gives back, you aren't just receiving a luxury eco friendly printed yoga mat, you are making a difference in another persons life, you become a "light" giver.
We are formally committed to donate the equivalent of 2% of revenues or more to charitable partners each year (including in kind product donations).
The below three charities are who we are currently support through the i=Change platform and does not included many other charities we support.
