Yoga for Wellness Tanzania (YWT) is a non- governmental organisation that was established in 2015 with its mission to disseminate and teach the awareness and benefits of the principles and practice of yoga and holistic care. This has been achieved through training and education of individuals in the practice of yoga, who in turn share this with the greater Tanzanian community at large. The key goals are to deliver skilled training and education, create internship and employment and spread knowledge.Mukti, our main center in Dar es Salaam, provides yoga and meditation in group or private classes which may be conducted on site or remotely as in the corporate environment.
