Odanadi is a pioneering anti-trafficking organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and helps to reintegrate children and women who have been forced into the trade of human trafficking.
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, both in and around the Mysore area.
Over the years Ashtanga Yoga has come to play a vital role in the rehabilitation process. This yoga practice has helped to rebuild physical and mental strength, and restore a sense of peace, confidence, and self-worth in many wounded boys and girls.
