Self Care Tip: FREE Yoga Fridays at SFWAR!

Every Friday from 12-1p come enjoy Yoga during your lunch break. Indira Allegra (see below to hear more from her) is providing this amazing service FREE of charge to SFWAR staff and volunteers. Volunteers/interns Kirsti and Sharon have attended regularly and have found it to be very beneficial for them! Teresa attended and felt completely relaxed afterward and that's hard to come by these days!

Please RSVP to Lisa & Teresa if you plan on attending FREE yoga on any of these days below.

The upcoming sessions are:
3/12 12p
3/19 12p
3/26 12p
4/2 12p

4/16 12p
4/23 12p
4/30 12p

Huffington Post: Indira Allegra, another health fellow, is committed to helping the disability community as well as survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Her goal, she says, is to "use yoga as a tool [enabling] survivors to re-inhabit their bodies."

Pacific School of Religion: “The issue with that separation between mind and body is that it is a lie.” The practice of yoga, on the other hand, strives to unite the two. “After all, the word yoga means to yoke or to bind, and in this practice, we create a space that the mind and body will want to be in partnership with each other,” Allegra says.
