BI-LINGUAL YOGA AND MEDITATION FOR
MOTHERS IN TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
We are so happy to revisit one of our first Karma Projects at MOMMAs House in Glen Cove! Angelica will be sharing bi-lingual Yoga in English and Spanish. The weekly classes are always a time of tool building around handling and moving through stress, caring for our bodies and minds, and building compassionate relationships between the women in residence together in the house.

MOMMA's HOUSE
MOMMAS House is a home for young mothers aged 18 to 23 years and their babies. For approximately two years, the young mothers at MOMMAS House continue education or vocational experience interrupted by pregnancy. With guidance and direction, the young mothers can learn to support themselves and their children independently.
Many young pregnant women, unwilling to part with their children through adoption placement, have no place to which they can bring their baby home to. Some of the young mothers are homeless-- living in cars, sacking out in dives, surviving in temporary situations. Many other young mothers live with parents who would not let them return with a baby, or the young mothers were part of dysfunctional homes considered dangerous for an infant. The infants of all these young mothers in crisis often became victims of child abuse and neglect. Moreover, the young mothers themselves would become isolated and hopeless, trapped into a life of dependency upon public assistance. Click to learn more about MOMMA's House.
