Bicycle Yogis

Bicycle Yogis is a vision of Ajay’s since 2015. The idea is to spread yoga and meditation to school children as a way to empower the younger generation with practices they can do daily to support their growth and development.
3 Isha Hatha Yoga teachers - Ajay Mani Raj, Yamini Liebman (founders of Sun & Moon Yogis) and Shivanga Solberg, started a journey on bicycle from Kanyakumari to Kashmir in September 2019. We offered free yoga and meditation classes to children in rural village schools all along the way, offering specific practices to help improve memory, mental clarity and focus, and give deep relaxation.
Along the way we not only taught in schools, but also had the opportunity to teach in orphanages, old age homes, colleges, blind schools, school for deaf children, a few sports teams and a school for mentally challenged children
In each place we taught 2 lessons, and also spent time with the teachers and administration to help them see the importance of the practices. We also talked to the principal to see if they could allow students to practice 10-15 minutes a day during school time.
Additionally we planted a tree at every school and talked about the importance of trees on the environment.
Unfortunately, 7 months into our journey, COVID hit, forcing us to stop our journey. Up until the point we had bicycled km and taught over 32,000 children. We hope in the coming years we can get back on the road and spread this practices to the future generation.

While creating videos on our journey was difficult (too few people doing too few things and a hectic schedule) we managed to create a couple which try to capture out incredibly adventure filled journey.
