Our Journey

YogaKshema is a not-for-profit organization run by a group of committed volunteers dedicated to the cause of improving the Quality of Life of people in the community. This not only includes the general population at large, but also specifically those who are survivors of chronic illnesses and their caregivers too.

Founded on 28th April 2007, YogaKshema Rehabilitation & Wellness Center began with a mission to “provide holistic, complementary treatment for those with chronic illnesses and their care givers as well as to create awareness among community members about illness and health in order to empower them to lead healthier lives.”

Our vision is to “improve the Quality of Life of people and help them make lifestyle changes”. YogaKshema was founded by Dr. Usha Vasthare and Ms. Akhila Malini Vasthare. Since its inception, the organization has been striving to render selfless service to community members belonging to all walks of life irrespective of age, gender, occupation or socio-economic status.

If only life came with a user manual! No matter how hard and unsurmountable these challenges may seem, it is not necessary that we forsake the joy of living and degrade the quality of our life! What we need is awareness about our capabilities and the ability to utilize them to overcome the problems.
