Hip Escapes

Practicing hip escapes as part of the Jiu-Jitsu training. Notice the tight spaces and more student waiting on the benches. We're working on acquiring more mats to grow our program.

Students Helping

On Fridays, the students help us carry the mats to our farmhouse across the dirt road. We are neighbours and can appreciate each other in our countryside neighbourhood.

Building Partnerships

Community Football

Here are some of youth footballers in our community, we do Yoga classes with them also. They benefit from more efficient breath, which provides quicker recovery during their matches and a more meditative mind that keeps them cool under the pressure of competition.

Training Room

Here is our small training room in Accra. 3 of 4 mats are used for some limited classes this gives us additional access to other youngsters interested in training Yoga for Jiu-Jitsu in the city.

Christian Atsu Educational Centre

Our partner school, was only recently commissioned, so the orphans now have a beautiful facility to access. We look forward to offering them opportunities to further their education in growing a sustainable agribusiness sector.

Tight Quarters

The Orphanage

Becky's Foundation is one of our non-profit partners, an orphanage who accommodates girls & boys from preschool, all the way up to 18 or high school, leaving age. Established on April 25, 2012, and based in a small coastal community of Senya-Beraku, Ghana, Beckfound has been working to improve the quality of life of some of the most vulnerable children. The foundation manages its own orphanage, school, and soccer academy. Beckfound equally supports credible local projects focusing on education, community development, healthcare, and special needs.
No one gets left behind!

Break Falls

Shoes

Shoes stacked inside the orphanage, just demonstrating the practical reality of running an operation for those in need. It takes a lot of heart & work. We thank Becky's Foundation for helping provide the service!

Yoga

Yoga resting posture, cultivates deep breathing, clears the mind & promotes unity of self. The tight quarters do not bother the student since they are in deep meditation.

Working Together

Common Unity

Yoga is a Sanskrit word that means unity and programs like this help to develop our rural community. In face everyone in the world could use some more unity.

Mediation

Any form of meditative or martial art requires listening skills in order to process. Disadvantage youngsters are already tuned and receptive to the instruction since they can sense the positive vibration.

Head Stands

Practicing head stands and back bends are inversion postures that improves circulation, strength and flexibility.

Meditation Practice

Meditation practice with the youngsters; the exercise benefits early brain development, sharpens focus and cultivates a peaceful mindset.

Self Defence

Swing Set

We were able to replace 2 and 3 swings on the set, small things yet the youth really appreciate the effort. We plan to assist the orphans more as we grow our orphanage, one small progressive step at a time.

Warming Up
