YinYan
YinYan’s mission is to give people the tools & confidence to improve their mental & physical wellbeing with activities proven to improve health as part of our friendly & welcoming community.
We help people improve their health & happiness with in-person & online activities including yoga, pilates, art, music, dance, meditation and more.
We work with leading health & wellness professionals, space providers & community creators, land & property owners & charities, using available spaces for maximum positive impact on the health & wellbeing of the communities we serve. We strive to be positive, inclusive & welcoming to everyone regardless of background, race, characteristics, gender, sexuality, beliefs, age, ability & financial means.
Because we are a Community Interest Company that is limited by guarantee, we can’t pay dividends or bonuses – all our profits are legally ‘asset-locked’ and MUST be used to improve the benefit & reach of the community we serve, which is defined by our Community Interest Statement (below). We measure & monitor the impact of our activities in order to provide maximum benefit, always looking for new places to do what we do and new people to help feel good.
Our Community Interest Statement is our constitution, it defines what we do and who we do it for, and it is lodged at Companies House as part of our incorporation statement:
"The company’s activities will provide benefit to the community by opening doors that give people the opportunity, skills & confidence to take control of & improve their mental & physical wellbeing through activities proven to improve health as part of a friendly & welcoming community.
We will help people improve their health & happiness through professional, friendly, convenient & accessible activities including but not limited to yoga, pilates, dance, meditation, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, qigong, tai chi, creativity, music, art, nutrition, connecting with nature & improving our environment.
We aim to work with leading health & wellness professionals, space providers & community creators, land & property owners, charities, organisations & individuals across the United Kingdom to use under-utilised spaces to help people to improve their physical fitness, mental health & ability to cope with the personal & societal challenges of our rapidly changing world.
We are not limited to any geographical area or demographic. Our vision is a national network of leading mind & body professionals having maximum positive impact on the health & wellbeing of all people – we strive to be positive, fully inclusive and welcoming to everyone regardless of background, race, characteristics, gender, sexuality, beliefs, age, ability/disability & financial means."
