Since 2015, Anita and Manu have expanded their long-time dream to help the many orphans of India through various initiatives. In 2019, they started the groundwork for a fund-raising project benefiting the children called Project Nav Atma for the Wellness of Children. 25% of the profits from the Institute are directly put towards the orphanages they volunteer with.
*Whole-istic is our own play on the word Holistic and a distinction because we like to put the emphasis on “Whole”. Ayurveda considers each part of us as part of our whole-self.
