TKI Yoga Inclusion Research

The Kindness Institute (TKI) would appreciate your participation in this survey to help us understand how yoga can be more accessible to people and communities in need of support for their wellbeing throughout Aotearoa/ New Zealand. Your responses will help TKI with this research, which will support a project that will engage the current yoga community in an inclusive way. It will also extend tools for mental and emotional support to the wider community.
