Yogam Foundation is a Mumbai-based ‘Yoga Ashram providing shelter for Cancer patients.’ It is a non-profit organization started in 2019 under the able leadership of Sw.Tejomaya Anand ji & Vidyadhar ji , renowned yoga teachers.
VisionTo not let cancer patient who come for their cancer treatment to big cities, live on the streets.
MissionTo provide immediate shelter and support to needy cancer patients for their health & well-being while they are undergoing treatment. To welcome others who wish to volunteer to be involved in this noble cause.
Yogam Foundation is very vigilant that each patient gets healthy, hygienic & nutritious food, which is one of the important aspects in healing. We believe that Mitahara (balanced diet) plays an important role in bringing about good health & well-being for the patient.
To encourage the patients to stay engaged in creative and productive activity we offer training in stitching, painting, embroidery and paper art. This gives them the opportunity to participate in fundraising. The idea is to help them build their confidence & self-esteem through art and creativity.
Regular motivational talks are arranged for the patients to encourage them to be positive about their recovery, the desire to be healthy and carry on in life by accepting the challenges they must face. For recovering patients, we arrange for outings to nearby temples, gardens or other tourist places.
We have a 24-hour doctor available on call if needed for the patients. We also arrange for ambulance service to take the patient to the hospital in case of emergency.
Yoga is a proven science that is beneficial to the health of the body and the mind. We offer yoga classes in this ancient practice, so the patients keep themselves happy & healthy, and at the same time, maintain balance in life.
We have set up a small library, so the patients can spend their leisure time reading books to engage their minds.
