Chair Yoga
for Refugees & Asylum Seekers
A 40 minute session of chair yoga which introduced principles of breathing, lengthening, of upper and lower body mobilisation and balance, bringing coordination challenges and lots of laughter!
The workshop was held in November 2018 at the Lewisham Salvation Army for the monthly Parents Group run by Creating Ground for AFRIL on a monthly basis. Group participants are refugees and asylum seekers whose children attend the Rainbow Club Supplementary School taking place every Saturday at St Saviour Primary School.
