Gracious Expressions

The yoga program brought about significant transformation in many children. Those who were shy, introverted, confused, or had low self-esteem became more confident, bold, and proactive, while developing a sense of community and belonging. The program also helped improve their focus and concentration. A key component of this program is the Havan, which provided a platform for girls, particularly from lower castes, to perform rituals—a significant achievement in the hills, where such practices are often restricted for girls, especially from lower castes. By participating in Havan, these girls not only overcame societal barriers and challenges but also found their own space and voice. At Bhoomaya, we aspire to continue being a beacon of hope and transformation for many more children.
