Beneficiaries

Children / Young People
Our principal focus is adolescents. The needs of this group are specific, and very different to those of children. We teach an approach to yoga specifically tailored to these needs, so as to ensure that the yoga is maximally beneficial for them.

Our Vision for a better future

Yoga brings balance to young people, it teaches resilience and the capacity to self-regulate, so that young people can manage the stress in their lives. Balanced young people are better able to care for themselves and others, transforming schools and other spaces into healthy environments that promote optimal wellbeing.

Our Work

50% of our 400 annual beneficiaries are able to live on their own without institutional care

30% of young adults are able to attend job related internship organised by us with our partners

All of our beneficiaries have a sense of security and care by attending our programmes, which again helps in the recovery process

Our goals to make a difference

Young people are better able to manage stress/anxiety, thus avoiding serious mental health issues.
Yoga improves resilience, empowering the young to engage more fully in their personal/social lives.
School environments are more focused with improved wellbeing, making them better places to learn in.
Yoga becomes part of the schools curriculum, leading to a more balanced, and calmer generation.
Due to better emotional self-regulation, the current mental health crisis among the young disappears
