The Ubuntu Yoga Project

A NEW YEAR OF CONNECTION , YOGA AND FUN

Our kids are back in our Eco Village , and what better way to start the year than by nurturing their minds and bodies through yoga ? This is a perfect opportunity to connect with their inner selves , have fun with friends , and exprience the benefits of  mindful movement. 

We are incredibly grateful to one of our amazing volunteers who has been teaching the kids yoga. Not only does she guide through the session , but she also helps them understand how yoga benefits both the mind and body. She dedicates one day a week to practice with the children and also train our facilitators so that they can continue the sessions long after she's gone.

Yoga helps promote physical well-beingand mental clarity, offering the children a chance to unwind, stay healthy , and bond with their peers. Regular practice will support their growth and its all because of your generous support. 

We cant do this without you, thank you for your ongoing help in making our kids feel special and empowering them with such enriching experiences. Your support truly makes a difference.
