“I have depression, anxiety, and PTSD, which can make me feel disconnected from my body and the present moment. Yoga helps me to feel more embodied. When I practice yoga, I feel calmer, I sleep better, and I become more confident in accessing my own inner resources and resilience”

“Sea Change Yoga made a huge difference in my life at the Women’s Re-entry Center. Being in jail was so hard, but having yoga classes twice a week had a serious impact in my life and in my spirit. I took that practice back to my room and shared it with other inmates. I got other people to join the group classes. The impact of those yoga classes was powerful and it really helped me to transition back to the community when I was released. ”
— Emily, Sea Change Yoga student at the Southern Maine Re-entry Center
