The Yoga For Good Foundation, a not for profit doing good in communities via yoga has awarded 27 grants in their latest round of funding. The Foundation have now awarded grants to a total of 38 organisations and yoga teachers carrying out projects that are doing good in their communities through yoga. Some of these projects have already started and others are planned for the coming months.
The Yoga For Good Foundation provides a platform for projects that benefit local communities through yoga principles, meditation and mindfulness. Coming into its third year, the Yoga For Good Foundation grant scheme has awarded a substantial amount to a range of initiatives across Australia. In this latest round, the reach of the program has doubled with yoga programs now being supported all over Australia.

There were so many worthy causes that the Foundation has awarded an additional 8 organisations grants for projects to be launched in the second half of this year. They will most likely request applications for Grants again in 2024.

This loving-kindness yoga class is an extended version of Melina’s insight timer class, held weekly at 7 a.m. at the weekend and sponsored by YFG. The asana sequences are based on traditional yoga and guide our awareness to be super kind and loving to ourselves as we move through this restorative yoga practice.
We fall into Self-love as we move and stretch to open the body, mind and spirit to flow and dive into the deep well of happiness within.
Melina presented at our Annual Retreat 2024, where her joy brought us joy and laughter. She is a healer with thirty years of experience helping people create joyful wellbeing through counselling, herbal medicine, nutrition and yoga.
Melina fell in love with yoga as a teenager, and her passion is going strong. She has been teaching yoga since 2005 and has taught at festivals, in halls and rooms, at her local gym, online, and in her Natural Health Clinic on Djangadi Country.
Our sole mission is to create opportunities to do good for others through yoga.
