Africa Yoga Project partners with Shining Hope on their Seva Safari!
The Africa Yoga Project (AYP), an organization dedicated to inspiring the global yoga community into active service, has spent the past few weeks volunteering with Shining Hope on the ground! This partnership is not only bringing together people from all over the world for a summer of learning and service, but is also setting in motion Shining Hope’s long-term commitment to providing yoga classes to the Kibera community!
AYP’s methods are based upon the Baptiste Power Yoga Institute (BPYI)‘s model for sharing the transformational power of yoga, and empowering communities through changing the lives of individuals with intensive yoga training and public service projects. By inspiring the global yoga community into active service through their Seva Safari (read more on their Seva Safari blog!), AYP delivers effective and innovative programs that foster peace, improve physical, emotion and mental well-being, facilitate self-sufficiency and create opportunities to learn, while also contributing to the communities of East Africa.
Kennedy Odede has taken classes with the Africa Yoga Project, and reflects:
“At yoga everyone is equal as we see energy, and feel energy in the room. We feel another world during yoga, where poverty disappears and we see people next to us as people, despite class or race. Yoga helps young people do away with drugs as they find another way of dealing, physically and spiritually.”
Namaste!
