Hackney Yoga Project is a pilot project developing a best practice model for working with yoga and the refugee and asylum-seeking community. The core group of women we work with are registered with the Home Office and seeking asylum in the UK due to human rights abuse. Many have also experienced gender based violence. Hackney is one of the most deprived areas in the UK with one of the largest refugee and asylum-seeking communities. The yoga we teach is Classical Yoga.
