SHINE GLOBAL creates programs that combine Yoga, Art, Service, and Travel to connect and empower women and youth worldwide. Yoga is a tool for self-awareness, it connects us to ourselves. Art is a form of self -expression, it connects us to our voice. Service & travel connect us to the world we live in and allow us to engage in it on a deeper level. When all of these connections are made, we become empowered. When we are empowered, we shine.
Why We Do It:
We believe that everyone was born to shine. Unfortunately, many women and youth never reach their full shine potential either because of where they were born, their sex, or the messages they receive from their culture, peers, parents or media. We work to empower women and children by offering programs that connect them to their purpose and to each other. Thousands of candles can be lit by a single flame. We want the whole world to shine.
