Mindfulness For Mental Health

Did you know that every year, one in five Canadians suffers from a mental health issue? We would like to help. Our focus is to offer no cost access to yoga classes, training in mindfulness as well as curated virtual resources to support mental health for qualifying participants. We offer specialized Trauma Sensitive Yoga Trainings and Mental Health Sensitivity Trainings in order to educate and create awareness. Our secondary aim is to educate in community in order to deconstruct the stigma that can create barriers that prevent access to support and treatment for those living with mood disorders.

Benefits

Blu Matter Project’s programming is based on the latest mental health research and includes no-cost six-month passes so participants can attend yoga classes at a local studio.

Measurable Change

Research shows that a regular yoga practice for people living with mood disorders may significantly reduce anxiety, stabilize mental activity, enhance brain functioning, and improve sleep quality and resiliency to stress.

A Place to Belong

Attending yoga classes consistently either in person or virtually can provide a sense of structure, and as you get familiar with the teachers and the experience, it can become a safe place to experience change.

The Support You Need

Studios and teachers are trained by Blu Matter Project to create a welcoming space; we offer online resources and local referrals to ensure you can source the help you need to manage your mental health in conjunction with your existing treatment plan.
