Testimonials

"I had a time when I was very aggressive. I didn't know how to handle the anger, I had problems with my wife, was aggressive with my son... Through yoga, I have reduced the aggression. It's not just for me; I practice it at home, with my wife, and my son."

"At times, the idea of the slow, coordinated, agile, and free movements of this discipline, along with its deep and conscious breathing, reached me. But it had never crossed my mind that I would ever practice it to heal from the pain that invades my interior for so long. I haven't even kept track of how long it has lived within me."

"From what I can confidently say, Yoga for Peace is one of the best experiences I have been through, leaving me with the same longing one anticipates for a true love or a precious moment."

In partnership with the National Agency for Reincorporation, between 2010 and 2014, we implemented a psychosocial and mental health care program within the reintegration route of the then ACR, benefiting about 800 individuals in the process of reintegration in Bogotá, Medellín, Barranquilla, Villavicencio, and Bucaramanga. The program, based on mind-body strategies, yielded outstanding results in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and the study published in a foreign indexed journal is still cited today as one of the outstanding contributions to the management of this disorder. With the program, 96.3% of participants improved their PTSD diagnosis, and 92.4% completely overcame the disorder.
