We are here to empower fighters (as survivors are fighers, too). Battle Bandera, a Puerto Rican Cultural Center Violence Prevention Initiative), has partnered with Healing in Movement to empower 5-8 youth fighters from the West Side (ages 18 - 23) who learn about positive affirmations, beliefs, and yoga movements to support their fighting and living journeys. We explore Surya A, B, and C yoga sequences to train West Side community members with tools of healing and will memorize to showcase this to the neighborhood.
