International Yoga's Carbon Offset Initiative
At International Yoga, we believe that travel and yoga hold the power to transform lives and perspectives. As travelers, we also recognize our responsibility to care for the Earth and the communities we are privileged to visit. Air travel, while opening us to the world, also contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why International Yoga is committed to taking responsibility for our climate impact. For every retreat, we offset the portion of emissions generated by our own operations, and we offset the flights for our teachers and staff members. Now, with our new partner Sustainable Travel International, we invite you to join us in this commitment by offsetting your personal flights to and from our retreats. Together, we can help protect the planet, support communities, and safeguard the places we love to explore.
How We Offset as an Organization
International Yoga offsets the portion of your trip booked directly through us. This includes the on-the-ground elements of your retreat package—such as accommodations, transfers, and activities.
How You Can Offset Your Flights
We encourage you to join us in going further by offsetting the flights you’ve booked to join the retreat.
With our new calculator, powered by Sustainable Travel International, you can:
- Enter your flight details into the calculator below.
- Learn the carbon footprint of your flights.
- Offset those emissions by contributing directly to verified climate projects.
Your offset supports a portfolio of projects around the globe—from forest conservation and renewable energy to blue carbon initiatives—that not only reduce emissions but also create lasting benefits for communities and ecosystems. Learn more about the projects here.
Why It Matters
- Protect nature: Safeguard vital ecosystems such as forests, oceans, and grasslands.
- Support communities: Improve health, livelihoods, and resilience in communities most affected by climate change.
- Drive global impact: Each offset contribution is traceable, transparent, and impactful.
Did you know? The average carbon footprint per person in the United States is 15 tons per year—one of the highest in the world. By offsetting your flights, you’re helping bring that number down while giving back to the planet.
