Giving Back Yoga Foundation


As the warmth of August gives way to a gentle reminder that autumn is just around the corner, it's an opportune time to reflect on transitions and transformations. Autumn is a season marked by the shedding of old leaves, making way for new beginnings. Similarly, this month encourages us to turn inward and focus on our own self-growth and spiritual evolution. Many ancient cultures, including the Mayans and Egyptians, considered this period sacred for personal and communal reflection.


With that said, we are thrilled to spotlight Give Back Yoga Foundation for the month of August. This incredible non-profit organization embodies the spirit of community and self-improvement by making yoga accessible to all. Founded by yoga teachers Beryl Bender Birch and Rob Schware, Give Back Yoga aims to support and fund certified teachers of all traditions to offer the teachings of yoga to "under-served" and "under-resourced" socioeconomic segments of the community. 


From helping veterans deal with post-traumatic stress disorder to supporting individuals in overcoming substance abuse, the reach of Give Back Yoga is truly profound. The foundation understands the healing powers of yoga—its ability to restore the mind, body, and spirit. Through their various programs, they also bring yoga to incarcerated individuals, economically disadvantaged communities, and those struggling with mental health issues. Their initiatives serve as a gentle reminder that the practice of yoga transcends the confines of age, race, or socioeconomic status. It is a universal path to inner peace and self-discovery.


To align with the noble cause that Give Back Yoga Foundation serves, we introduce you to Rainbow Obsidian. Known for its powerful metaphysical properties, Rainbow Obsidian is a stone that aids in personal transformation and growth. It is a protective stone that absorbs negative energy and helps to cleanse the aura. When light strikes the stone at a particular angle, the layers within reveal beautiful iridescent colors—a perfect embodiment of uncovering one's true self amidst challenges and adversities.


For the month of August, a portion of proceeds from the purchase of any Rainbow Obsidian stone from The Crystal Council will be donated to Give Back Yoga Foundation. Just as Rainbow Obsidian brings light into one's life by unveiling the spectrum of colors hidden within its depths, the Give Back Yoga Foundation illuminates the lives of countless individuals, offering a spectrum of hope, healing, and empowerment.


The synergistic relationship between Rainbow Obsidian and the practice of yoga creates a balanced and harmonious vibration that aids in the alignment of mind, body, and soul. Both remind us that even in the darkest moments, transformation and light are possible.


To make an impact this August, you can donate directly to Give Back Yoga Foundation or engage in their programs. You can also bring the energy of transformation into your life by purchasing a Rainbow Obsidian stone. In doing so, you not only empower your own spiritual journey but also enable others to embark on a transformative journey of their own.


Join us in supporting Give Back Yoga Foundation and uplift a community that can deeply benefit from the ancient wisdom of yoga and the healing properties of Rainbow Obsidian.
