OUR KARMA PROJECT
YOGA AND MEDITATION for HOMELESS YOUNG MOTHERS and their BABIES in CHARITY RESIDENCE
MOMMA'S HOUSE, GLEN COVE, NY
|
Morgans weekly yoga class at the Glen Cove MOMMAs House has been so special for both teacher and students that it has been expanded into our first ongoing weekly Karma Project class. The young mothers living in the house have found that the yoga they practice each week has "helped them be better women" and "helped us learn how to love ourselves and our babies better". Morgan creates a space for the women to connect with each other, practice gentle yoga and meditation while the babies crawl around and sometimes join in.

OUR TEACHER
MORGAN ROSE
RYT-500, Yoga for Morgan is the practice of connecting to our innate nature, moving in rhythm with ourselves and the world; it is about remembering our true nature. She was initially drawn to the practice of Ashtanga yoga, and has since begun to immerse herself in the study of alignment. Morgan believes that the practice of Asana should help us to heal our own bodies and through proper alignment that miracle is a possibility! Her classes are meant to be active and healing, while working to connect to our inner joy with an open heart. In 2016 Morgan joined United We Om as an advisor to the board and a member of the meditation commitee.
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.
