Programs

  • uBloom

    This program serves as the organization's flagship initiative, focusing on supporting children with special needs, including Autism, Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Speech & Hearing Conditions. Collaborating with special schools, the program aims to empower families and educators to incorporate regular practice sessions, ensuring long-term sustainability. Each session offers a tailored blend of yoga, creative arts, and holistic practices, adapted to the specific needs of the group at that time. Through participation in these sessions, children experience improvements in motor skills, enhanced creativity and expression, development of verbalization and communication abilities, better emotional regulation, increased sensory processing capabilities, and improved social skills.

  • uRise

    The organization provides a distinctive program that engages with a range of diverse communities, including women's NGOs, orphanages, and prisons. Through a series of sessions featuring diverse practices, participants are guided towards fostering a sense of sangha, or community. The program aims to instill self-confidence while nurturing skills in presentation, leadership, and team building. Remarkably, some individuals have been motivated to pursue new vocations as a result of their participation, with a few even transitioning into roles as yoga teachers.
