OUR PARTNER

AZAHAR - The Orange Blossom of Change

AZAHAR Foundation began in 2016 through a partnership between Yogeswari and Jeanine Munyeshuli, bringing the transformative practice of yoga to communities recovering from trauma in Rwanda in collaboration with local NGOs.

Inspired by the symbolism of the orange blossom, a sign of renewal, growth and possibility, AZAHAR soon expanded its impact through scholarships for the prestigious 300-hour Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training.

These opportunities supported educators from Cambodia, Rwanda, Colombia, Lebanon, Ivory Coast, Syria, Ukraine and beyond.

Today, AZAHAR’s story is one of resilience, compassion and empowerment through education, professional training and community development.

Why We Partner With AZAHAR
Canvas & Orchids Retreat and AZAHAR Foundation share a belief that personal wellbeing and community wellbeing go hand in hand. By participating in this retreat, guests support a model that combines yoga, education, conservation and local empowerment in one meaningful experience.

“Like the orange blossom, meaningful change begins with small actions that grow into lasting transformation”
