About:

The Blossom Project and Downtown Streets Team are partnering to give women experiencing homelessness the emotional and physical tools necessary to empower their lives.

The purpose with Blooming Room is to create an atmosphere of inclusion and empower vulnerable women to be and feel part of the community and to create a safe environment to build their life again. This is done by strengthening women's self-confidence by highlighting the skills and competencies they already have and supporting them in acquiring new ones.

Through Blooming Room, the women hereby have the opportunity to prepare for their future by finding and believing their own resources. The project's activities also support women in finding relationships and building healthy communities.

A part of this curriculum is to help the women be aware of not only their mental wellbeing, but also their physical state. The way that we are approaching this is by conducting a Hatha Yoga Class for the women.

The group of women that would be a part of this group range from 40 - 70 years old, with little to no previous experience with Yoga / physical exercise.

We are looking for a volunteer to concentrate on slow movements, breathing exercises, and mindfulness.
