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.

Our goals.

Our goals are:
- To provide psycho social support and wellness for people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
- To provide a sustainable yoga project that serves the needs of the communities we work with.
- To provide support in self care and wellness through Yoga and TRE for vulnerable  people.
​- To establish ongoing mentoring and community support to young people participating in our activities.

Respite trips.

Our organisation also offers respite trips for carers and parents in precarious situation that are in need to spend some quality time and have a rest. Some of the respite trips that we have offered are:
-Retreat at the Surf-School ''La Curva'', in Loredo, the coast of North Spain. The participants enjoyed an all-inclusive retreat with yoga, exercise and surf. There were age appropriate activities for the children, while their parents/guardians relaxed and enjoyed their mini-holidays.
- Retreat near Alicante, Spain. The project participants enjoyed four days in sunny Spain, while getting to know new people, and participating from a wide range of activities: mountain hiking, boot camps, capoeira and dancing.
