Sunday 5th March
Yoga Stops Traffick is a worldwide yoga event to raise awareness about human trafficking, and to raise funds for Odanadi Seva Trust- a non-governmental organisation based in Mysore, India. For 26 years Odanadi’s has rescued, housed, rehabilitated and supported women and children who have been victims of sexual violence and human trafficking. www.odanadi.org
The idea of Yoga Stops Traffick was thought up in 2010 by a group of volunteers in Mysore who wanted to help. It has become an annual event with the young residents of Odanadi’s joining yoga students for sun salutations outside Mysore Palace, and thousands of participants uniting to support them from all over the world!!
We will be holding our own event at PYM FINNIESTON and we would LOVE you to join us!!
108 Sun Salutations followed by a Yoga Nidra 1 – 3.30pm
Why 108? 108 is a sacred and auspicious number in Hindu, Buddhist, and many other belief systems. It might seem impossible, but it’s not as hard as it sounds, and we won’t be holding the 5 breaths so it won’t take as long as you might imagine either! Everyone is welcome to join – you can rest or stop whenever you like!!
Suggested donation £20 , but whatever you can afford will be amazing. Book your place here, but please either bring cash or contact me for BACS details – as we want every penny to get to Odanadi’s!
Here is a wee video from last year’s event
