SEVA SAFARI, THE SERVICE TRIP OF A LIFETIME

Seva is the Sanskrit word for “selfless service” and safari is the Swahili word for “journey or trip”.  On a Seva Safari trip with Africa Yoga Project, that is exactly what you will be getting – a selfless service journey.  It is a trip that will change your life and the lives you touch forever.

Whether we are building a school or attending a yoga class at the famous Shine Center, Africa Yoga Project’s empowerment and education center, your Seva Safari will leave you with a deeper understanding of your purpose and how you are being for others. Our team works with you to ensure the experience begins the moment you register! 
 
Seva Safari is proud to offer unique and enriching trips that are driven first and foremost by the needs of the local community. Each trip is a new adventure. Not only do our trips allow youth, families and adults to explore new cultures and discover the beauty of the land, but we also incorporate the physical and personal growth that all of us crave. Through daily yoga practice, working closing with the Africa Yoga Project team and personal development, this trip has proven time and time again to be the journey of a lifetime.

See what past Seva Safari participants have to say about their experience...

"I joined the Seva Safari in an attempt to help and maybe, in the process, change just one persons life for the better. It turned out that the life that was changed, was my own." - Meg Katz, Seva Safari July 2011

"Seva Safari is an amazing opportunity to learn and grow--beyond writing a check, it's a hands-on chance to work with Kenyan teachers and yoga practitioners to create real community change. I came away ignited to create people-oriented change in my own community, and I'm continually inspired by what I learned about the role that individuals can play in creating wellness worldwide." - Emily Goligoski, Seva Safari July 2011

"Seva Safari transformed my life and my perspective. I made new friends from all over the world. We worked together to build a community center in Kibera. I saw first hand what a small, committed group of like minded people could accomplish and it left me inspired. AYP made it possible for me to find ways to spread and share my love, leaving me feeling inspired, powerful and eager to share more love everywhere I go. I encourage everyone to embark on a Seva Safari trip and challenge yourself and discover who you are. We are all more powerful and capable than we think." - Caitlyn Saxton, Seva Safari July 2011

“The Seva Safari Trip is guaranteed to change your life; way of being; and over-all perspective. The combination of yoga practices, daily sharing and reflecting with Africa Yoga Project teachers and students, and the daily challenges and tasks, encourage penetrating transformation that inspires overall connection and openness. This trip gives you a taste of authentic Kenyan cultures, while taking you into the heart of what Africa Yoga Project is all about.” – Lauren Mackenzie, Seva Safari July 2011.
