Yoga for a better life project
Changing lives with Yoga and Exercise since 2015.My First 1000 days is a non-profit organization aiming to make yoga & meditation and their healing benefits accessible to vulenrable people in the community, especially carers, women and girls who have been exposed to trauma and/or come from disadvantaged backgrounds in London. In close collaboration with social justice and human health organizations, we set up yoga programs for women in precarious situations, including at-risk youth, women victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse, refugees and asylum seekers, prisoners and correctional officers, women and girls recovering from addiction & mental health challenges, patients and hospital staff. Our project participants benefit from the yoga practice and its healing properties. We also offer mindfulness, coaching and counselling for girls and women from BAME groups that suffer of have suffered from abuse, and are at risk of social exclusion.
