A nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon, is using yoga to help Americans who are struggling with homelessness, hunger, poverty, abuse and addiction, the Huffington Post reports.
The group, which was founded in 2002, began as an initiative to teach yoga to homeless youth in order to inspire inner peace and personal growth. Since then, it has become a full-fledged organization that serves more than 1,000 people on the West coast.
The art of meditation has brought peace and relief from stress for countless individuals around the globe. In recent years, research has emerged on the benefits of incorporating such a practice into one's lifestyle.
Those who seek proper instruction – from sources such as Dahn Yoga classes – may find a stronger mind-body connection, which has been linked to better health and effective management of conditions such as multiple sclerosis and post-traumatic stress disorder.
By encouraging those in difficult circumstances to adopt this regimen, instructors hope to increase positivity and instill a sense of order, balance and manageability.
Meditation could very well help those who are struggling to better find their place in life and learn how to overcome their problems.
