Yoga, Sports & Meditation

Most experts agree that trauma lives in the body. Practicing yoga and meditation allows participants to engage with body-centered and mindfulness techniques to mitigate these physical manifestations of trauma and learn to engage their parasympathetic nervous systems to slow breathing, drop their heart rate, and lower their blood pressure. These effects contribute to overall well-being and promote mindfulness as a tool to combat stress.  

Our centres offer regular yoga and meditation classes for women and girls, in which they are taught how to incorporate these exercises into their daily lives to help them heal physically and mentally.

Additionally, we offer regular women’s fitness classes, which provide simple but effective ways of staying fit and active to improve their overall health and wellbeing. These sessions are conducted in culturally sensitive ways.
