Edinburgh Community Yoga

Project Details

The grant would contribute to the costs of a yoga teacher (£1,080); room hire (£540); a Peer Support Worker (£360); admin (£1,066); residential venue, catering and transport (£2,855) to offer a 36 week programme (3 x 12 weeks x 1 hour) trauma-informed yoga classes to women who have committed to a 12 week programme with Womenzone. Called ?Pyjamas Are Not Your Friends?, that programme supports them in recovery from addiction and trauma. The project will include a 2 night retreat during the programme, allowing women to consolidate knowledge and skills and develop confidence and self-esteem as well as offering the opportunity for relaxation and community building. They have run a very similar format project with Womanzone previously which had very positive results and up to 30 women would benefit.
