For Bean Voyage

Meet Bean Voyage founded by Sunghee and Abhi

Nami Yoga Studio has been hosting Charity Park Yoga with various NPOs during the fall and spring seasons! This time, we will be collaborating with Bean Voyage founded by Sunghee and Abhi. These two are passionate coffee lovers, who wanted to make a positive change for the coffee industry, namely the smallholder women coffee producers. Come join us for yoga, coffee tasting and learn more about Bean Voyage.

Our Intentions

Beyond the practice of yoga, which is not limited to one's own physical and mental health, it is about "giving back" to those who have given to us and having a compassionate attitude toward others and society. This "giving back" can start with our family, friends, co-workers, living things, and our everyday surroundings! As a studio, we would like to invite you to join us on this journey.

More about Bean Voyage

Since 2016, Bean Voyage has been empowering smallholder women coffee farmers in Costa Rica and Mexico. They provide these women with valuable training on climate change resilience and business management. Additionally, they offer seed capital to help them finance their businesses and connect them to the global coffee market. Currently, Bean Voyage works with over 500 amazing women coffee farmers in Costa Rica and Mexico. Through their efforts, these farmers have earned over $360,000 in extra income (four times the market price) and received $50,000 in seed funds to support their innovative business ideas.

During Our Event...

During our Charity Park Yoga event, we will start off with yoga, followed by coffee brewing and savoring delicious coffee grown by these remarkable women. Together, we'll have open discussions on how we, as coffee drinkers, can contribute to creating a more sustainable and fair future for the coffee industry.

If you are curious and want to learn more about Bean Voyage's initiative, we encourage you to visit their website, and also watch the documentary (24 min) written, directed, and filmed by 5 smallholder women coffee producers beforehand!
