Yoga and Sport with Refugees

Sie bieten Sportprogramme für Flüchtlinge an, mittlerweile auch in Athen und Ioannina. Super tolles Projekt.

Building a happier and healthier community through the power of sport and solidarity where our community, displaced people, are in the lead.
Yoga and Sport With Refugees (YSR) was born in October 2017 on the island of Lesvos, Greece to assist people living in Moria refugee camp, which at its fullest, housed around 20.000 residents despite being originally constructed to hold approximately 3.000 people. YSR was created in response to the massive need for healthy, clean and safe spaces, sense of community and a place to work on mental and physical health. Our first classes took place in a repurposed Médecins Sans Frontières tent next to the community space of One Happy Family. Yoga and Sport with Refugees was a combination of two separate sport and yoga programs. Athletes arriving on the island approached us with an experience in different sports such as boxing, karate, running, kickboxing or fitness and wanted to teach it to their community, of which we moved on to organize the facilitation of the activities!
