Yoga Stops Traffick unites yoga practitioners across the globe in support of Odanadi Seva Trust. The profits raised from these events help prevent human trafficking in India and support Odanadi in rescuing and rehabilitating individuals affected by modern slavery and sexual violence.

We welcome any individual or group who would like to take part in Yoga Stops Traffick! Take part by hosting a donation-based class, joining an event near you or dedicating your own home practice to YST.  You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for details of YST events worldwide!.

If you are a yoga teacher you can join the movement against human trafficking by leading a series of sun salutations on your yoga shala, holding a donation-based class online or in-person or donating the profits from an existing class.

We suggest a £15 minimum donation for each participant and encourage people to collect more money by raising sponsorship. You could also raise further funds by selling drinks or merchandise at your event -ask us for more details about selling YST merchandise! Nominate someone to collect donations from participants of your Yoga Stops Traffick event and send them to us. Details of how to donate are on our donations page.
