Rev. Padma Devi
Padma Devi is a much loved international yoga and spiritual teacher who founded the Heart Of Living Yoga Foundation, which shares yoga and trains teachers, as well as being a charity that helps children around the world.
Heart Of Living Yoga supports children in vulnerable communities in Sri Lanka, Brazil, India & the UK. They focus on education, nutrition, wellbeing and cultural preservation, working through grassroots partnerships creating sustainable outcomes for children, their families & communities.
The most extraordinary thing about the charity is that everyone is a volunteer. They have no salaries or property overheads so every penny raised goes directly to help the children. They follow the motto of their founder, Padma Devi Sumananda: ‘I give, You give, We all receive.’
