Yoga practitioners know that it is not easy to find stability and serenity in our lives.

There are people for whom, because of their social environment, sickness or life circumstances, it is even more difficult.

In Mandiram Yoga we wish to dedicate a part of our efforts to relieving the suffering we see around us.

In past years we have collaborated with projects such as helping the Tsunami victims and the CCDT organization project in Bombay, which helps children and families affected by AIDS and small children in particularly difficult situations.

Now, during a whole year we are helping a person that, for one reason or another, has lost the ability to manage and support himself and relate to others, but has the potential to make it by himself and to live a more worthy life.

A teacher once said: “if only one person has breathed easier because of your help, your life has been worth it”.

To “help us to help”, we offer yoga classes based on donations. This class, open to all, is called DANA (Sundays at 12h), which in pali, the language of Buda, means “generosity”. We wish to create a circle of generosity: the generosity of our teachers for offering these classes and that of our students, whose donations are entirely destined to “help us to help”. And this makes it possible to channel the generosity of the people who support these projects.

We also regularly organise special classes (Sivananda, Yin yoga, chanting…) on a donation basis with this purpose.
