I am so proud to have been working with Ourmala and Fierce Calm for many years. We have been spreading the word, teaching at events and hosting classes that raise funds for these two foundations that support refugees, asylum seekers and marginalised people. Please consider contributing to their ongoing efforts to bring Yoga to the vulnerable as a way of healing, inspiring and transforming lives.
OURMALA has specialised in delivering yoga classes for people seeking international protection in the UK, such as refugees and survivors of torture, trafficking and modern day slavery since 2011. They also provide high quality yoga classes for workplaces across London and for the NHS, which helps them fund their free yoga classes for refugees. Their yoga programme has been independently evaluated as being highly effective in improving mental, physical health and wellbeing and enabling people to take part in life more.
