Yoga Stops Traffick Across Canada!
Donation protected
Join us against Human Trafficking!
Yoga Stops Traffick (www.yogastopstraffick.org ) is an annual, one-day event, ran by volunteers, in support of Odanadi Seva Trust (www.odanadi.org ) in Mysore, India.
Odanadi believes that no human being is for sale. Odanadi rescues, rehabilitates and reintegrates victims of human-trafficking, mostly women and children.
In May and June 2018, I am expanding Yoga Stops Traffick into twenty dates over six weeks, to rally fellow yoga communities across Canada - all with roots in Mysore, India - to the cause.
I will be holding classes in towns and cities in every province, challenging participants to complete 108 Surya Namaskar (sun salutations) - not an easy task!
Entry fees and pledges raised by attendees will funnel through this page to Odanadi Seva Trust.
Funds raised will support the day-to-day operations of Odanadi's Girls' Home - where rescued victims can find the family they may never have had, recover from their experiences and regain the confidence and skills to return boldly to normal life.
The Campaign/Trip:
The campaign will be visiting Ashtanga Yoga programs coast to coast, from BC to Newfoundland, challenging participants to practice 108 Surya Namaskar and raise funds and awareness for Odanadi's work in Mysore, India and beyond.
