To create an inviting space in our community where people can experience the choice and empowerment that comes with a trauma-sensitive yoga practice. We are committed to providing a shared authentic experience, fostering a connected community and promoting holistic healing through movement, counselling and therapy.

Our Values

We acknowledge our priviledge and vulnerabilities, and hope to serve our community with dignity and integrity. Our facilitator has experience working in homelessness, domestic and family violence, youthwork, child protection, mental health and suicide intervention.
