Yoga With Refugee & Asylum Seekers

 

​

The Yoga Impact Charity has been sharing trauma informed yoga with the refugee and asylum seeking community since 2015. 

​

We partner with not-for-profit organisations, government and schools to share in person and virtual Yoga with refugee and asylum seeker communities around the world including

​

  • Sydney

  • Melbourne

  • Coffs Harbour

  • Vienna 

  • Amsterdam 

  • Munich 

​

Our Refugee Yoga programs have been evaluated by the NSW Service for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors and led to a reduction in PTSD symptoms within 9 classes and a reduction in Depression within 12 classes. Click Here to read the Impact Report

"“For a long time I felt like I didn't have choices or deserve good things. Through Yoga and Prayer I have connected to a part of myself that is positive, strong and powerful. Connecting to this part of myself shows me that I'm free to make good choices for myself and my children. I know that I deserve the best”
