Some experiences from YLTP graduates:

“Before YLTP my body felt tired and I didn’t get proper rest at night. I had a lot of stress thinking about the future, seeing no happiness in the world, eating unhealthy food and drink. I didn’t have time for myself. Now I have peace of mind. I sleep like a baby. No more headaches. I know how to manage my stress. The breathing techniques helped to clear my mind and have energy to do important things.” S, Free State

“It was a privilege and a wonderful experience to see myself attending this program. I never saw myself doing yoga – I was clueless! But now I have a better understanding. I now understand my inner self and my mind better. It really boosted my self-esteem, confidence. I am focused and this showed me how to change my mindset. Now my mind is refreshed, calm, peaceful and focused on what is happening now. YLTP was a good experience.” A, Soweto
