Project Zen Empowerment creates a safe space in Port au Prince, Haiti where vulnerable young women gain life skills and confidence through community, peer leadership, education, yoga and mindfulness.
Project Zen has a yoga studio in the heart of Petion-ville a thriving business neighborhood of Port au Prince, Haiti. We are recruiting at-risk young women who live in the area around the studio to meet for empowerment sessions on a weekly basis and attend
our public yoga classes.
The weekly empowerment sessions will cover topics such as: self awareness; language skill enhancement; financial literacy; sexual, emotional and physical health; nutrition; community leadership; entreprenuership; and vocational skill opportunities.
Our vision is to use the yoga asana practice as an anchor that will aid young women in building the confidence and peace of mind they need to fully own and implement the
empowerment skills they learn to make a difference in their own lives and community.
