About MFH
Movement for Healing provides specialised yoga and meditation to women impacted by gender-based violence and marginalisation.
We offer Community Outreach Yoga Classes and work in partnership with charities and organisations to broaden access to holistic wellbeing practices.
We run ‘Yoga-for-Purpose’ fundraising classes, accessible to the public, so participants of our Community Outreach Yoga Classes can access our courses for free or at reduced costs.
Alongside community outreach, we support yoga teachers and people in helping professions through training or service development to encourage spaces to be as welcoming, inclusive and accessible as possible.
Movement for Healing’s values are rooted in trauma-informed care, and financially accessible and culturally inclusive approaches to support.

Background
Movement for Healing is a trauma-informed wellbeing programme established in 2017 to support survivors of gender-based violence through yoga and holistic practices. Its work draws on experience developed in direct client work with survivors of gender-based violence, community health and post-conflict settings, including clinical programmes with women and children affected by the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. Grounded in trauma-informed principles, the programme promotes ethical and supportive wellbeing spaces for survivors through education, training, and community-led practice.
