My Story
I'm taking part in the Edinburgh Community Yogas 'One-O-Eight Challenge'. One of 108 people doing 108 sun salutations and hoping to raise £108 that will go towards their great work within the community on the following projects:
1. Continue our work with local military veterans with PTSD and develop new veteran programmes and retreats in the city.
2. Expand our work in prisons and secure mental health settings.
3. Extend our important work with Ourmala supporting refugees and BME women in Edinburgh.
4. Continue our work with people in addiction recovery by continuing our womens yoga programme with Womenzone at Comas offering weekly classes and a retreat for women affected by trauma, giving them an opportunity to relax and come to terms with their experience.
5. Start a scholarship programme that offers outreach students the opportunity to apply to receive mentorship and scholarship to engage with yoga in other studios and in teacher training
