Yoga for Carers is available to organisations supporting people who care for loved ones. Our short video explains how we developed the program and how it impacted lives.

Thrive Support Group for Carers asked us to work with them to create a special Yoga for Carers program.

Outcomes of the 8-week program were that carers were more relaxed, focussed and healthier.

They reported that they felt better equipped to make time to care for their own health while caring for a loved one, and felt they could be even better carers.

Thanks to Lotterywest and NDS for funding, and to Disabilities Services Commission and the volunteer team for in-kind support to develop Yoga for Carers.

  • I am more patient around my son. I can let him be who he really is.

  • I have learnt so much to value my own time and space. I am more focussed and not as forgetful.

  • It’s valuable for me to be using yoga to reduce stress before it rises in stressful situations.

  • I never thought I’d be able to get up off the floor from lying down. Now I can even kneel to garden.”

  • My son is more open towards me and seems more understanding. I have time for him.

    This is a positive activity for carers and I hope it is able to continue and grow.
