We aim to support sustainable educational pathways for women across the world and believe all women deserve equal access to education.Our On the Ground Yoga Teacher Training program in Morocco is designed to support these girls in processing their trauma and aid their path to healing. Over a one-week yoga camp we will work with 20-30 students, both graduates of our teaching training and new students. The participants, aged 16-18, will be introduced to yoga techniques and create a space for self-expression, enabling them to teach yoga as a livelihood.On the Ground addresses mental health and resilience workshops, providing basic coping skills that can be used anywhere and anytime. We will culturally adapt our approach to respect the Amazigh community’s Islamic faith and culture. Yoga has been shown to reduce physiological arousal in PTSD patients, improving somatic regulation and body awareness, which are imperative to emotion regulation.
