Ashtanga Yoga Newcastle takes great pride in raising money for the Ashadayaka Siva Trust, and for Odandi Siva Trust.
All the kids have come from the streets of Mysore and around India working as rag pickers, sold to the sex trade or as slave labour.
Since 2008 yoga students from KPJAYI and Yoga studio's like ours have been supporting the Ashadayaka Childrens Home by way of financial donation and volunteering time to play and care for the children.
There are many orphanages in Mysore, some that are better funded than others. Ashadayaka is solely reliant on the generosity of individual donations and as such welcomes any financial contributions no matter how large or small.
Examples of expenses:
500 rupees ($10US) will fill 2 cavities
1000 rupees ($22US) will provide fresh vegetables for a week
700 rupees ($16US) will provide milk for a week
We choose to support AST & OST because they are not a big organizations, I know the money will get to them and have a massive impact on their lives.
Thank you for your support.

Odanadi Seva Trust
Odanadi is a pioneering anti-trafficking organization based in Mysore, South India, working for the rescue, rehabilitation and integration of trafficked women and children. For the past 20 years Odanadi has been committed to providing a safe haven for survivors of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, slavery, domestic abuse and destitution.
Rescue, rehabilitation and reintegration
Odanadi currently runs two residential rehabilitation and reintegration centers in Mysore, housing up to 85 women and young people at any one time. Every resident has a different story to tell: many have been rescued from the hands of brothel owners and sex traffickers, others from abusive homes, child marriages or domestic and commercial servitude. At Odanadi residents are provided with the skills they need to heal, empower, educate and eventually reintegrate themselves back into mainstream society.
Odanadi’s unique psycho-social therapy program has become accepted as best practice both within India and internationally. The Union Human Resource Development Ministry has adopted the Odanadi model, and many other Indian state governments have sent rescued girls to Odanadi to facilitate their rehabilitation.
Odanadi’s method is carefully tailored according to each individual's needs and can entail a wide range of activities, from psychological counseling to art therapy, drama, karate to yoga and acupuncture. Research shows that almost a quarter of trafficking victims are re-trafficked, which is why it is so important for residents to be well prepared for life outside the walls of Odanadi. Odanadi’s aim is to reunite trafficking victims with their families, and to give them the necessary tools to face mainstream society as strong, confident, empowered individuals.
Human Trafficking is defined in the Trafficking Protocol as “the recruitment, transport, transfer, harboring or receipt of a person by such means as threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud or deception for the purpose of exploitation.”
Human trafficking statistics:
Three million children are currently involved in India’s sex trade.
In 2007, there were thought to be more than 27 million people trapped in situations of modern-day slavery.
Human trafficking, as an organized crime, is approximated to generate 32 billion revenue each year.
Every day in India 200 women and girls enter prostitution and 80% of them do so against their will as victims of trafficking.
The 2007 U.S. Trafficking in Persons Report states that India’s ‘trafficking in persons’ problem is estimated to be in the millions (90% of which is internal).
The 2004 report by Shakti Vahini confirms that Karnataka, where Odanadi is located, is one of the major trafficking-supply states.
