Case Study: North Kirklees Wellbeing Yoga
Yoga sessions funded by well connected
Umbrella Yoga CIC delivered 40 yoga sessions to people across four venues in Kirklees: Batley, Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. The sessions targeted communities with high proportions of migrants, many of whom have underlying health issues and mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression. The yoga sessions were designed to support people to manage these struggles, as well as connect with others from their communities. The sessions were mid-week, during the day, so ideal for people at home who may not regularly leave the house.
