Hi everyone, 

I am excited to announce that I will be collaborating with The OMPwerment project to bring a trauma-informed yoga teacher training into the Afghan refugee community in Greece. OMPowerment's mission is to empower refugees to lead themselves & members of their community in the healing practice of yoga.

We will co-facilitate a trauma-informed yoga training to the women refugees, in farsi. This lady is one of the trainees. Her name is Zahra and she's a mother of 4. We've established a mentorship the last few months and she's eager to complete this training to be better able to teach her kids and hopefully lead classes on her own thereafter.

In addition to this training we are leading a day of embodied healing practices for the humanitarian aid workers, focused on addressing self and community care.

Training costs cover mats, bilingual manuals, notebooks, and pens for all trainees; daily tea, water, and snacks, such as fruit; travel costs for facilitators; venue hire costs, where applicable; translation, where applicable; and local transport costs for community facilitators.

£20.00 (training manual for one refugee trainee)

£35.00 (mat and manual for one refugee trainee)

£50.00 (training materials and meals for one refugee trainee)

£100.00 (meals and tea for one refugee training group)

£250.00 (one refugee to participate in the training)
