URDA’s Protection Sector Uses Yoga as a Psychotherapy for Women

As a way to provide self-care for women, the Gender-Based Violence team in URDA, together with the municipality of Ainab in Mount Lebanon, organized a yoga session led by a Japanese instructor, in the Protection Sector Hall in Ainab. Around 17 Lebanese and Syrian women participated in this session which aimed to teach participants new breathing, relaxation and reflection techniques, as well as how to organize one’s physical responses and thus their emotions.
