All proceeds go to ACIP (Asian Classics Input Project)

Our yoga practices exist due to the kindness of Masters who have passed their lineages down to us. Help us to preserve this ancient wisdom by supporting the efforts of The Asian Classics Input Project. ACIP is a non-profit organization that has scoured the globe for the locations of ancient yogic texts for the past 20 years. They then create jobs for Tibetan Refugee women by employing them to input the texts into a free world library before these precious books are lost forever. ACIP needs our help. Their funding is limited. Please join us and share in the merit of preserving ancient yogic wisdom.
