THE SAMASTHALA INITIATIVE

THE SAMASTHALA INITIATIVE®

Samasthala is a Sanskrit word related to Samasta "समस्त", which means all, inclusive, whole and radical. The word Samasthala, equates to even, which could not be more apt.
 
The objective of this initiative is to build positive connections within a variation of UK communities, in which yoga would be crucial to their wellbeing. This is driven through free yoga classes, for groups such as refugee shelters, homeless centres, abuse victims, and mental health charities.
 
It is also our aim to offer the resources and career opportunities for a small number of enthusiastic Yoga practitioners. We are targeting individuals who exist on the low end of the economic spectrum, through a scholarship plan. They in turn, will teach at one of the required locations (homeless shelter, refugee camp, etc.) for free, for six months once they have graduated from our teacher-training program.

Through this, it is our intention is to create life-changing opportunities for those of limited finance, with the delivery of affordable Yoga teacher training.
 
We are dedicated to the mission of building a yoga community that supports both individuality and diversity (of opinion, class and culture) to serve all walks of life. One that is more reflective of the society we populate, whilst helping those that have seen darkness in their lives, but are now slowly moving towards the light.
 
The Samasthala Initiative is currently trialling in Birmingham in the UK. Our intention is to broaden our scope, as we expand our main teacher-training programme.
