Yoga for Social Change
Helping Others is at the Heart Of What We Do

Magic Bay Collective
#LessPlasticMoreFantastic
Change starts at home, with ourselves and how we choose to consume and dispose of our waste.
Giving back to our home community here in Thailand, is a beautiful opportunity to inspire, connect and create plastic-free and sustainable solutions for the people, land and oceans.
We are committed to helping provide and maintain free community meditation spaces in the form of the Labyrinth, where we host a New Moon ceremony each cycle,
and we also help to create and support weekly karma clean-ups for our bays, and reduce availability of single-plastic-use consumables. Pure Flow Yoga is the primary financial supporter of the Labyrinth, and is heading the movement to “Green the Bays by 2020”.
Check out this awesome video that was captured of one of our beach-clean-ups, as part of a film festival project from community member and acclaimed videographer and producer Andrei Jewel.– A Behind-The-Scenes look at the making of “I Am Ocean” and our local Thailand beach communities’ creative response to the ocean-plastic problem. Screened during the Cannes Lions Festival, France 2019 our mini-doco reached over 6,000 views in its first week alone on social media.
