The Causes

SEVA: selfless service on behalf of, and for the betterment of a community

Hanuman Festival is committed in giving back to local and global causes. We hold dear the belief that we are all part of one global community and value compassionate giving to those less fortunate than ourselves.

  • Off the Mat and Into the World (OTM) uses the power of yoga to inspire conscious, sustainable activism, and to ignite grass roots social change. Hanuman Festival and OTM have partnered together as a force to spread the concept of SEVA and help community take its experience off the mat! www.offthematintotheworld.org
  • The Wellness Initiative is aligned with Hanuman Festival to improve the physical health, social and emotional development, and academic performance of low-income youth through yoga-based wellness programs. www.wellnessinitiative.org

  • The mission of the Give Back Yoga Foundation is to support and fund certified yoga teachers in all traditions to offer the teachings of yoga to under-served and under-resourced socio-economic segments of the community.  These are individuals who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the transformational benefits of this powerful practice, in all its aspects—from asana and stress reduction, through breath-work and meditation, to general service to others. www.givebackyoga.org
