Say YES! with Yoga Empowerment Sessions
In April of 2006, Volunteers of America implemented a yoga program at Hello House, taught by a volunteer network of certified yoga instructors. Because of an overall increase in mental and physical wellness through greater awareness of one’s breath, alignment and mental focus, documented studies have shown that yoga provides potential for significant benefit in improving one’s quality of life. Our goal is to promote change by helping our residents regain their vital center of energy that has been lost due to years of abuse, neglect and/or illness. Using the lessons of yoga, we hope to continue to empower residents and staff with mindfulness, stability, patience and acceptance of oneself and the world.
