Story
Together Women Project moves women out of crime into positive futures, working with them in safe, women-only spaces, building resilience and developing strengths that enable them to move away from damaging lifestyles.
The University of Sheffield Yoga and Pilates Society has been providing weekly yoga classes for Together Women in Sheffield.
The women come from all different backgrounds and cultures. Some having escaped warzone countries seeking asylum and refuge, some women from abusive relationships or families. Some with disabilities that restrain them from being able to care for themselves properly and pretty much any woman who is vulnerable or needs help in some way or another! Together women provides a safe female only space where the women come for counseling, advice, just a friendly face etc....
So the yoga helps get the women out and provides them with exercise that they don't normally have the time or money for, it also helps them grow confidence in themselves and with their bodies. It helps with their mental well-being, gives them a break and cool off from the stresses of their day to day lives and a social class where they can make friends (as many don't have any). All in all its just great for their mental health and wellbeing just like it is for anyone. Except these women may not have the means to go to a yoga class themselves or the confidence to find one and go.
