Currently, Greece has about 60,000 refugees, most of them located on the island of Lesvos. People who, after risking their lives, continue to suffer in shameful conditions, waiting for months to find psychological help. Yoga is an instant relief and its effectiveness is also demonstrated in cases of posttraumatic stress.
Therefore, together with the NGO “Light Without Borders” located on the island of Lesvos, we have started a volunteer program to ensure that yoga can be practiced regularly.
Through the development of physical, emotional and mental balance, yoga has proven effective in helping with posttraumatic stress disorder.
