Community Yoga Classes
Our community classes are now being organised by Brighton Natural Health Foundation.
We are committed to taking yoga to those in the community who currently do not have access to it or are unable to find an appropriate yoga class for their specific needs in a typical yoga class setting. Since we became a registered charity in 2016, we have been continually growing and developing our community yoga outreach work.
We aim to provide yoga that is appropriate to the population groups we work with, enabling us to offer a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for our participants to explore the elements of yoga that may be beneficial for them.
We believe in overcoming as many barriers as we can which may prevent people from being able to access yoga. Some of these reasons might be;
- The perception that yoga is for able bodied, healthy individuals only.
- Lack of information about the therapeutic practice and benefits of yoga.
- The rising cost of attending a yoga class in studio/leisure environment.
- Lack of opportunity to explore a safe and fulfilling yoga practice.
Yoga teachers locally (and across the world) have often delivered free, low cost or donation-based classes to those on low incomes. Many have taken specialist training to run therapeutic yoga classes. We are building on the work of the early pioneers in this work to make yoga available to everyone.
We are proud to be part of the growing yoga outreach community who are working towards a shared goal of making yoga accessible, and most importantly safe, inclusive and beneficial to those most in need.
