August 2011 Kulae Yoga Newsletter

This month we are featuring a Boston area-non profit company, yogaHOPE. They offer yoga-based programming to underserved women in recovery. They recently reworked their curriculum to draw more heavily on research in mind-body practices that support long-term traumatic stress recovery. The results? Their mothers are now going home and teaching their daughters breathing exercises. Some of the women they have helped are using pranayama in court to cope with anxiety.  

They are truly always devoted to making yoga accessible, by offing their programming on-site at rehabilitation centers, prisons, and other centers that provide support to those recovering from domestic violence, self-sufficiency from homelessness and drug addiction.  yogaHOPE programs help over 350 disadvantaged women every year.
