Since 2005, we have been donating to a good cause in January. It all started with the Frankfurt women’s shelter ‘die kanne’. That’s where the idea of yoga classes for children came up. The project was well received, so for almost ten years we made regular donations to the shelter in January, sometimes adding a few teaching aids such as yoga mats or cushions.
Children are often just as traumatised as their mothers, with whom they have to move into a women’s shelter. The aim of the children’s yoga project was therefore to do something good for these children. Incidentally, what the children particularly appreciated about the yoga class was the calm atmosphere – which is no surprise, as women’s shelters are usually very noisy because many people live there in a relatively small space.
The photo shows a collage that the children made for us, which we were very happy about.
