The Yoga Foundation

Service Description

Our mission is to create opportunities for people at risk to positively change their experience of life. We partner with other not for profits and government agencies to reach people in need and bring them free, quality, trauma informed yoga. Over the last 12 years we have supported hundreds of people with diverse experiences: veterans with PTSD, people in the criminal justice system, people affected by homelessness, refugees and asylum seekers, women affected by domestic violence, psychiatric patients, and at risk youth. Our participants typically have mental or physical health challenges, socioeconomic or geographic limitations. Some cannot physically or mentally make it to a regular class or do not feel comfortable doing classes in the general community due to trauma or other complexities. We bring yoga to these people to improve their quality of life, enable social connection and support good mental health. Classes run throughout Sydney.
