Projects
To advance our mission, we train leaders in underserved and marginalized communities in a toolkit of practices for managing stress and anxiety and restoring confidence and self-esteem.
We offer practical, evidence-based tools to cultivate sustainable wellbeing culture by improving focus, clarity, and communication, and by reducing stress and anxiety.
This work equips individuals with the skills to create judgement free spaces in their communities in which to offer these tools to others, creating a ripple effect of healing throughout the community.
Our trainings focus on a toolkit of practices – grounding, centering, orienting, and breath – in an embodied way, so that trainees understand how these practices land in their own bodies, empowering individuals to develop their own self-practice, drawing from the toolbox whenever they need to, especially in times of stress, anxiety, or when they are having trouble sleeping and staying present.
We use the practice of teaching one another to develop confidence in finding and using our authentic voice. Our trainees are equipped with the tools to spread knowledge of trauma informed practices to others, creating a ripple effect of awareness.
“OMPowerment aligns with our vision of empowering the refugees to support themselves.
We are grateful for the training offered by OMPowerment because it lifted the residents up, improved their understanding of yoga, and in the end, brought us a couple more yoga teachers for the space!”
Since 2017, we have delivered 11 trainings in 7 countries - Myanmar, Greece, Kenya, Palestine, Norway, Uganda and the United Kingdom - empowering more than 100 individuals with trauma-informed, healing-centered practices.
