Join Saraswati Hancock, trauma-informed yoga teacher, immigrant & refugee activist, and founder of Yoga Mandala Project for an inspiring discussion on yoga activism through the lens of classical yoga.

Based in Ireland, Saraswati Hancock has dedicated over 50 years to the path of yoga. Her journey includes thousands of hours of teacher training across multiple modalities: birth doula work, yoga therapy for women's health, and yoga nidra. Since 2016, she has engaged in ongoing studies of classical tantra and ayurvedic yoga therapy with her spiritual mentor, Chinnamasta Stiles. Saraswati's work in refugee communities in the Middle East profoundly shaped her understanding of dignity, compassion, and grace. This inspired her to establish the Yoga Mandala Project, which supports refugee populations through trauma-informed yoga.
