One of the ways we are currently seeking to give back to the community is our village outreach program. This program works with a number of the small villages around Mysore. Initially, we are working to to improve health and well being by running free kids yoga camps for village children. Children are picked up, brought to the shala, given a free stay and taught simple, safe hatha yoga. They are they shown how to teach other children safely back at their villages. Regular follow up is provided with recognition for these young community leaders. As more funds become available, this program will be expanded to include interlocking nutritional and traditional health care (ayurvedic) support at the grassroots level.
