The Bristol Yoga Roots Project have been delivering outreach yoga classes since 2017 and have trained and worked with many different organisations and diverse populations. Our training programmes have been developed based on our years of experience sharing trauma-informed community yoga practices. We also draw on our lived experiences and professional work, which spans a broad spectrum including clinical psychology, research, community case work, social activism, mental health, physical health, chiropractic, anthropology and business development. We are committed to co-creating a warm and welcoming space for us to learn together.
