About
Our organisation
Our aim is to spread the goodness of yoga throughout the community and empower people to live their best lives. We are firm believers that yoga, both the physical practice as well as its everyday application off the mat, can change lives for the better.
Through our innovative grant program and events, the Yoga For Good platform brings the community together, using yoga principles to inspire purposeful and peaceful living.
Founded in 2021, we embrace a positive future, honouring our roots of yoga philosophy and practice since 1976. We share the transformative power of yoga with as many people as possible, and the union of head, heart and hands.
Our values and what they mean
Nature – Embracing a deep connection to our true self, the natural world and universal elements to achieve harmony of mind, body and spirit.
Integrity – Serving the community with accountability and transparency.
Practice – Creating the time to physically and mentally reset through yoga practice and mindfulness tools.
Discovery and self enquiry – Attaining enlightenment through the rich philosophy of yoga as a way of life.
Community and connection – Sharing the wonders of yoga, bringing people together and fostering inner connection.
The Yoga For Good Mission and Vision
Our vision is a world where yoga is accessible to all, regardless of age, background or ability.
Our mission is to break down barriers and share the benefits of yoga to improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and overall quality of life. By focusing on the individual, we foster the potential for lasting personal growth and meaningful contributions to the society and world around us.

Leah Cooper - Winter Water element Kidney Meridian Class
Online Yoga Community Class Link
Meeting ID: 837 8021 3576
Passcode: 546998
This class uses Japanese yoga therapy to tune into the kidney energy, support the spine, and help regulate the nervous system. With exercises to squeeze into the kidneys, we bring tone and support the organ’s function, helping to release stagnation. Followed by kidney meridian stretches, energy is able to flow more freely, helping to achieve a deeper sense of peace and calm as a result. Try this class to reduce symptoms associated with stress and to improve sleep.
