Yoga helps victims of genocide and sexual violence

Yoga instructor and genocide survivor Mediatrice Uwingabire is only too aware of the benefits of taking up yoga. She joined a yoga group in 2008 and in six months she started witnessing changes in her life.
“Due to the consequences of genocide, I used to have a lot of anger and resentment,” Uwingabire explains after the yoga class. “But I started doing yoga, I slowly started healing internally, dealing with my anger and I loved it so much and now I feel I am a very smart person. Physically I also got healed.”
