Story
The Yoga for Life Project is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC). We provide a specialist therapeutic approach to yoga designed to help support health and well-being in the community and in the workplace. Our specialist yoga teachers and yoga therapists have devised a range of classes with the aim of improving the physical and mental health of the general population.
We know from experience and research that yoga can transform health and well-being.
Through yoga, the individual can feel empowered to take control of their physical and mental health, escaping the stresses of modern life. Yoga can also enhance a person’s sense of well-being and instil a strong dynamic of personal empowerment.
We at The Yoga for Life Project believe that yoga ought to be made available to a wider cross-section of society, so that more people can experience its potentially transformative effects on health and well-being.
Since 2020 The Yoga for Life Project has raised money to offer 4 free classes a week to people living with Long Covid, ME and CFS through our specialist Wellbeing Programme . Over 1000 students have been supported living through the condition and have formed their own support group. Both have become a lifeline to the many people who find themselves incapacitated and isolated by their condition. Our objective now is to raise £25,000 which will afford for the Wellbeing Programme to run for 4 and a half months. Please consider giving generously to this invaluable programme.
Student testimonial:
Other programs require us to pay when we can't afford even the basics, they require us to leave the house when we can barely move from our beds, or they don't provide classes that are out of reach physically which can cause longer term disability.
The Yoga For Life Project, has removed all those barriers to doing movement and breathwork at a level we can manage. The teachers are specially trained and provide support guidance and beautifully facilitate what has become an essential community.
To lose this valuable resource and community would be devastating to us all. We want to pledge our support for the project and enable you to understand that by supporting it today, you are reaching and supporting the most vulnerable people that can't access care or support.
