YOGA FOR WOMEN By Parmjit Sagoo This project provided health and wellbeing support via online Yoga For Women sessions, reaching women of all backgrounds, aged 16 plus. The sessions were held across a 5 week period, exploring gentle yoga, breathing exercises and relaxation strategies. The classes were specifically women only, providing a safe and confidential space for women to explore their own wellbeing. These sessions were attended by a wide range of women from all ages and backgrounds, included women looking for gentler and inclusive exercise, women experiencing anxiety and low moods, women who prefer the privacy of online classes and women with young families needing time for themselves. Our partnership with Mojatu Foundation ensured that we reached women from Black, Asian and other ethnically diverse communities, who often feel under-represented and uncomfortable in mainstream health and wellbeing spaces. In total we had 36 women taking part in sessions, some of them were regular attenders, while others came along when they could manage it.
