About Groovy Yogi
What is Groovy Yogi (and is that a surfboard, a yoga mat or a flying carpet)?
Groovy Yogi just read that the “About” page is the 2nd most viewed page on most websites. Apparently, the Google monster ranks home pages and “about” pages highest in search results. And you may decide whether or not Groovy Yogi is interesting based on what you see here. No pressure (mopping brow, slight frown) . . .
. . . so first, Groovy Yogi is going to focus on pranayama, breathing long deep inhalations and exhalations until the sweat glands stop overacting . . .
. . . imagining open, friendly curiosity on your face . . . a fellow groovy yogi waiting to know more . . .
Groovy Yogi was created out of a love for yoga, art and travel. We offer yoga workshops, classes and retreats to natural, enriching locations that nourish the body, mind and spirit. You may also shop with us for yoga-inspired jewelry and gifts.
----------- But this feels like an insufficient, empty statement of what Groovy Yogi is about. ------------
Groovy Yogi believes that how you live, explore and coexist on this planet is important. That your footprint matters. That you should know the world, and give where you can.
Groovy Yogi donates 10% of proceeds on yoga retreats, workshops, jewelry and other goods to charity. Charities will be rotated based on your suggestions, causes that we are passionate about, and the needs of countries or regions we lead retreats to. Find out more about our work with charities on the Charity page.
Groovy Yogi currently has one person dedicated to the cause – founder Crys Rivers. But she is backed by an incredible band of fellow groovy yogis, who provide marketing and sales magic (both of which send our dear founding yogini running for her yoga mat and soothing meditative breaths), math magic, teaching opportunities, business partnerships, business advice, casting services, supplies, travel arrangements, photography, hair magic, friendship and love. So the “we” in Groovy Yogi refers to the entire support system. And now you are adopted into the support system by reading this page to the bottom!
