Copied: @yogaalliance "As part of the Teaching for Equity program I taught yoga to communities that included poor economic factors, lack of family relations, inadequate education, migration from villages to urban areas, war, genocide, natural disaster, escape from domestic abuse, peer pressure, amongst other causes. I know classes were impactful to my community [because] my classes helped them to know how to deal with stress, depression and anxiety." -George Okurut, Kampala City, Uganda The application for the 2023 Teaching for Equity Program opens on October 4, 2022.
