Ayurveda and Yoga experience in India

The volunteers will be learning the Basics of Yoga and Ayurveda in the three weeks of the project. Every day, there will be topics covered by a professional master (the person in charge of yoga and ayurveda classes), which will be practiced by the volunteers. Yoga will be practiced every day.

Apart from this, volunteers will also help in creating awareness among the locals on issues like Health and Hygiene, environmental protection, solid waste management etc. Volunteers will need to be creative in their approach to give out the message through dramas and street plays. Volunteers who participate in this project need to bring materials and ideas for the program, after which the whole group will chalk out a plan of action.

Location: Kannur, Kerala, South India. The state of Kerala is accessible by air, domestic and some international airlines. Trains and buses operate on an everyday basis from almost all major towns/cities in South India.

Cadip volunteer project review:

"I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 wk. project in South India. I didn't want it to end. As I am very passionate about children, yoga, and holistic modalities this was the perfect project for me. I also met new international friends and had many cultural exchanges with them and the children at St. Mary's school. This was a life changing experience for me and I plan to return to India in the future to study and live at a yoga ashram. I was fortunate enough to visit and stay at Amma's ashram near Allepey for a couple of days after the project finished. I personally think Kerala, South India is pure love! The head sister at the school was so warm and welcoming as were the people in Kannur. We learned about some of the Indian traditions and celebrations from our coordinator and team leader as well. I highly recommend this project if you are passionate about children, holistic practices and have an open mind. Thank you." Lisa Z., Cadip volunteer
