Yoga & Animal Rights Alliance

YARA is a grassroots organization that aligns the holistic practice of yoga and all mindful modalities with animal rights activism through volunteer opportunities, educational engagement, and the rescue and protection of domesticated animals in need. We are devoted to the stewardship of their health and well being and cultivating compassionate awareness in humans.

This work is advocating for those who have been misunderstood, mistreated, and neglected.

This work is for seekers.
