Summer Sports and Yoga camp 2016

We saw the Chennai floods devastate lives of several families. Satyananda Yoga Centre and Satyananda Yoga Education Charitable Trust along with Victory foundation and volunteers from several organizations and individual volunteers rose up to their highest ability to offer what ever best they could. People in six different areas who lived along the river side of Adyar river and Buckhingam canal received support from our efforts.

We have devised a sustainable program to bring children and youth of economically disadvantaged background from six different areas to offer them
·         Yogic training, for developing holistic personality integration
·         Sports training for developing the sportsman spirit and fellowship and
·         Tuition for academic excellence.

This summer we will be conducting football camps, along with integrated yoga classes for approximately 200 students.  Out of these about 75 students will be taken on a totally sponsored tour to Rikhiapeeth ashram from 1st to 7th June, to participate in the national level “Bal Yoga Shivir” conducted  at Rikhiapeeth ashram.


These are some of the pictures of the young Chennai-ites, learning to bend their bodies, train their feet and deal with their mind.

Volunteers from Satyananda Yoga Centre will be conducting classes for these children and youth in the following areas as part of their football training, which volunteers from Victory foundation are offering as a seva.

1.      Kotturpuram
2.      Satyamurthy School, T.Nagar
3.      Arya Samaj School, Vyasarpadi
4.      Hamilton Bridge, Mylapore
5.      Corporation play ground, Gopalapuram

When the 2016-17 academic year begins we will be beginning tuition centers, to help these children develop academic excellence.
