Yoga is for Every Body
The Himalayan Institute's mission statement invites all who seek their full potential to join us. With this inclusive outlook, we welcome everyone - regardless of race, religion, sexual or gender identity. We believe people's capacities grow when they seek to learn. They are more fulfilled when in service to the world. They thrive when living in a diverse community. Our students, teachers, and volunteers live, serve, and engage each other with mutual respect, as we grow and find our strength together.
Mission Driven, Community Supported
We operate by the spiritual and financial support of extraordinary individuals like yourself. Your financial contributions and consistent monthly support make our mission possible.
