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.

Day Retreat at Liminalia for The Elephants

May 18, 2024

This day long retreat will nurture you as we make space for reconnection through the empowering practice of Qi Gong, cultivating energy through movement, sharing in nourishing food, gathering our voices together with mantra and song, meditation, and devoting time to compassionate action towards ourselves and the global community, fundraising for the 8 elephants YARA supports in Northern Thailand.
