This bonus edition of The Happier Life Project shines a spotlight on a remarkable collaboration bringing yoga, education, and empowerment to children in India. Host Gabby Sanderson welcomes Gopala Amir Yaffa, the visionary behind Rainbow Yoga, whose journey from Hindu monk to father and global yoga educator has inspired communities across more than 40 countries.

Gopala’s approach to yoga is playful, social, and deeply connected, rooted in the belief that love and human connection are the most powerful agents of change. Partnering with Yoga Gives Back and Edu-GIRLS, he is helping transform yoga into a tool for resilience, confidence, and joy for underprivileged children in the birthplace of yoga.

Listeners will hear the impact of teaching yoga to young people, how this partnership is reshaping lives, and the global support making it possible. In a special announcement, Gopala shares that our very own host and yogi Gabby will join the project in February 2026, living and teaching at the school in India.
