Yoga for Foster Kids
Donation protected
Power Living Melbourne is proud announce their partnership with The Pyjama Foundation and Ana Uribe from Yoga in ACTion.
3 organisations with 1 mission: enhancing the life of children in foster care.
Together we are united to offer a 4-week yoga program designed to support the physical and mental well-being of local children in foster care.
The Pyjama Foundation work with children in (foster) care through a mentoring program that is aimed at improving their education outcomes. There are over 53,000 children in care in Australia. 75% of them won’t go onto complete their VCE and did you know that 50% of homeless come from a care background? Shocking, right?
Ana Uribe, one of our fabulous PLAY teachers and co-founder of Yoga in ACTion will facilitate the program, informed by specific trainings in ‘trauma sensitive yoga’.
Yoga in ACTion is committed to bringing professional trauma informed yoga and meditation programs
to at risk communities as well as professional development opportunities for yoga and meditation teachers working in these communities.
Power Living is a modern-day physical and philosophical yoga practice, delivering powerful classes to encourage people to live happy authentic lives.
The program consists in:
- 60 min "trauma informed yoga practice" with a trained Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher
- Up to 10 Students per session to contain a safe and supportive environment
- Carers or ‘Pyjama Angels’ in the room and participate to support the children and reassure them
- A warm and lovely studio to welcome the children and carers.
Power Living Melbourne will offer their lovely light-filled Fitzroy studio space to welcome the yoga program.
The studio will also host a special fundraiser class ‘Yin in Pyjama’ on Sunday 30 July at 6pm. Everyone is invited to practise yoga in their pyjamas (yes, for real!) and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate!
Class taught by Ana Uribe with music from Marcella Wright. Power Living will donate all proceeds to The Pyjama Foundation going towards our yoga program.
How to support the program?
1. Donate via GoFundMe page until 28 August 2017 (Program runs 6-27 September 2017)
2. Come to Power Living Melbourne in your pyjamas for a special Fundraiser Yin Yoga on Sunday 30 July at 6pm // THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO CAME!
3. Share this initiative with your friends and family to help support the children!
Let’s talk numbers…We need to raise $680 to allow the 4 week yoga program to run.
Here is a break-down of the funds to be raised:
- $80 for 4 weeks of snacks for the children and their carers
- $600 to Yoga in ACTion to fund the program: A portion of the money will be put towards the organisation's training budget for teachers and a portion will go towards the running of the organisation
Any additional donation goes to The Pyjama Foundation.
Thank you for your help!!
