Humanity Moves Details
Humanity Moves is a veteran-created, non-profit organization dedicated to providing research-based mindfulness education and training programs for youth, caregivers, veterans, and families in need of body and mind-based stress reduction techniques. We set up programs for homeless youth, parenting adolescent mothers, veterans with PTSD and their spouses by entering into respectful partnerships with organizations that are committed to the long-term healing of these at-risk populations. We train yoga instructors and mental health professionals in the Yoga Warriors curriculum, a movement-based methodology created to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans and first responders.Why We Do It:We understand that peace, social justice and harmonious relationships begin with individuals that are able to accurately assess their environment, because they are aware of their own internal state. We feel that the suffering caused by ignorance of the human stress response can be alleviated by good teaching, coaching and practice. We teach individuals to become their own best agents for anxiety control and stress management with a vision that they will be more likely to act with compassion, wisdom and patience. We believe that embodied knowledge, through an ongoing inquiry that uses the body to enhance our awareness of emotional and cognitive states, can bring about self-reflection, self-expression, and ultimately transform the way we see the world and the people in it.
