Therese Poulsen, founder/director of Breath of Hope Foundation and Satyagraha Ashram, has initiated yoga programs in schools, orphanages, and community centers in the USA, across southern Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, and Germany. Her self-sustaining work helps thousands of children to find renewed hope, strength, and confidence in the wake of disaster, as well as in life’s day-to-day traumatic experiences. She has trained hundreds of teachers to carry on the program with minimal outside support. As her out- reach continues, Breath of Hope
Foundation / Satyagraha Ashram will continue providing services as it expands its preventative pro- grams to new locations.

Fundraising is an integral part of any not for profit organization.Therese Poulsen has thus far, used much of her own capital to stabilize the projects and conduct research.A key part of the Ashram however, is Lila Bamboo - a traditional Balinese Wantilan bamboo villa with three stories - magnificent and luxurious, though thoroughly soulful. The villa was specifically built to be rented for private vacations, reunions, or small conferences and seminars. All the revenues from the rentals provide funding for the foundation’s work. Lila Bamboo is one of Indonesia’s tallest Wantilan structures. The traditional architecture utilizes sustainable materials: bamboo, palm leaves, alang alang, and local river stones.The interiors feature exceptional pieces of Balinese local wood and stone craftsmanship.
There is no air-conditioning - the sliding doors open to invite the breeze in - and, as in a tree house, the boundaries between inside and outside seem to dissolve. Sounds of crickets and frogs echoes like an orchestra; the scent of frangipani, the traditional Balinese temple flower, fills the air.There is a sense of living in the embrace of nature.
