[June 10, 2011] My Yoga Online Supports Kiva.org Tweet Jun 10, 2011 (Mass Media Distribution LLC via COMTEX) -- Kiva'smission is to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world. From June 21-28, My Yoga Online is donating $1 to Kiva for every new Facebook Fan on the company Facebook page--up to $5,000. Kreg Weiss, My Yoga Online co-founder and yoga teacher, says "We fully support and believe in taking yoga off the mat. The yogic concept of ahimsa, or compassion, is something we like to practice as a company and individuals. Supporting outstanding organizations like Kiva is something we're thrilled to do." Since Kiva was founded in 2005 there have been 586,053 Kiva lenders, $216 million in loan and a 98.75% repayment rate.
