Description
‘Yoga healing for all’ is a project aimed at supporting Newham’s vulnerable and impoverished residents by giving access to free yoga classes, in a stunning private yoga studio that are curated specifically to address mental and physical well-being. We will run 4 separate courses over the course of the year.
1) Introduction to yoga, pranayama breathing and guided meditation
2) Yoga for stress relief and anxiety reduction
3) Yoga and sound baths
4) Yoga flow for energy
Our aim is to continue to create an inclusive space where all members of the community can come together, practice yoga and make connections. ‘ Yoga healing for all’ started as a singular free Community and Beginners yoga class which supports refugees from Stratford’s hotels and clients referred to us from Newham’s Team Joy App. I began this project in January of 2023 which has run up until until now. The application for funding is necessary to sustain this class expand by providing an additional class that includes yoga and sound bath. The funding we require to provide payment for yoga teachers and the renting studio space.
The costing for studio space and teacher payment is less than the average hourly rate in London.
