MoreYoga’s Commitment on World Refugee Day 2025
Aligned with the yogic principle of Ahimsa non-violence and compassion for all beings MoreYoga is hosting a three-day fundraising event across its 35 studios, starting on June 20th for World Refugee Day and continuing through International Yoga Day on June 21st. All profits from hundreds of yoga classes will be donated equally to two vital causes: Fierce Calm, a non-profit delivering trauma-informed yoga for refugees, and War Child, an international charity protecting children affected by conflict.
Fierce Calm’s work is deeply inspiring. They provide specialist resilience and healing programs on the ground in Ukraine, partnering with healthcare centres, refugee shelters, veterans hospitals, and children’s hospitals. War Child operates in some of the world’s most dangerous regions to ensure that children living through war receive education, protection, and mental health support.
At MoreYoga, we share Fierce Calm’s mission to make yoga accessible and affordable for everyone regardless of background or circumstance. Our ongoing support helps create safe, empowering spaces where healing and social impact go hand in hand.
Giving back is part of who we are. Over the years, we’ve raised more than £40k for charities like Comic Relief and Choose Love, alongside supporting local community causes. This World Refugee Day 2025, we invite you to join us in standing together because yoga is about more than movement; it’s about showing up for one another.
What is World Refugee Day?
Established by the United Nations, World Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees worldwide, shining a light on their struggles and resilience. It calls on all of us to embrace compassion and support those displaced by war and conflict.
When is World Refugee Day?
World Refugee Day is observed every year on June 20th to raise global awareness and support for millions of refugees forced to flee conflict and persecution. In 2025, this important day falls on a Thursday, and MoreYoga is proud to mark the occasion with a special fundraising weekend.
