Community Yoga
In our mission to offer yoga to everyone, we are delighted to have been working with the lovely ladies of Link Up; a local organisation offering support to women who suffer with mental health problems and social isolation.
We are also honoured to be running weekly yoga classes at The Hive; a day centre for inpatients situated within the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, an acute psychiatric and mental health service.
This month we enjoyed a class at the local Hibbs stadium, Easter Road with the Hibernian's Football Fans In Training group as part of their twelve week loose weight, get fitter and be healthier programe at the Hibernian Community Foundation.
We have also been offering yoga and meditation classes to participants of the NHS funded twelve week absinence programme LEAP (Lothian and Edinburgh Abstinence Programme).
With your continued support we will be able to share the gift of a regular yoga practise with those who arguably need it most.
