I've lived in Portland for so long, how did I miss hearing about this very cool program?: "Street Yoga gives youth and their caregivers the tools to overcome early life trauma, through the sharing of life-building mindfulness and wellness practices grounded in the ancient healing principles of yoga. We serve by helping them create a sense of true home in their own bodies, minds and communities."
This makes so much sense to me. Yoga is about body awareness and appreciation--concepts that probably take a backseat to everyday survival and fulfillment of basic needs. But if a person can have a moment of peace where their body is more than just the shell carried around all day, it must be worthwhile.
