Resilience and Healing

Whether it’s feeling your blood pressure rise during a long queue at the store, or experiencing overwhelming feelings of sadness and stress due to family trauma, we can all feel overloaded, particularly during the holidays. We understand, and have created some simple breathing techniques, mantras and yoga poses for those moments you need some inner peace.

These bite-size activities, that can be done in just a few minutes, anytime, anywhere, are a part of our work with Family Support Hammersmith & Fulham, whose mission is to help children, young people and their families thrive. We recently completed a special Christmas Om:Pop series at Cathnor Park Children’s Centre and Fulham Central Children’s Centre, led by HERE Co-Founder Jen Armstrong, and in collaboration with our wonderful and dedicated Om:Pop team members Karin Schrijvers of Bubble + Sprout, and YogaDad Rob Reid.

We hope you find the below techniques from Jen, Karin and Rob beneficial! We are here for you, for them.

Love, Dana and Jen x
