Matt Ryan says:

‘In July 2002 I was on my annual trip to Mysore to study with Guruji when I met a lady called Tracy. Tracy told me about the dream she had of setting up a charity to help the poor and destitute people who lived on the dirty streets of Mysore town. In 2004 this dream became a reality as Operation Shanti was launched – please see www.operation-shanti.org for full details on the amazing work they are doing over in Mysore.

To help create more funds for Operation Shanti I have set up Shanti Shirts – conscious yogawear for men and women on and off the mat

Please take a look at our site at www.shanti-shirts.com and help yourself to a  very cool piece of yoga wear as well as helping to break the cycle of poverty in Mysore , helping to give the poor back their rights as human beings.’

At Shanti Shirts, you can buy yoga t-shirts for men women and children, and all sales profits are donated to ‘Operation Shanti’, a non-profit organisation whose headquarters are in San Francisco.

The operation aims to break the cycle of poverty in Mysore, helping the needy with basic needs – food, medical assistance, clothing, shelters and educational facilities.
