At Malawi's Dzaleka Refugee Camp, yoga is a tool for healing

Reported byNPR Health ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Yoga has been successfully introduced as a healing and wellness practice at Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi, with two individuals bringing the practice to residents as a meaningful health intervention in a vulnerable population.

What it doesn’t mean

This does not prove yoga is a replacement for comprehensive mental health services, nor does it address systemic challenges refugees face; it demonstrates one positive wellness initiative rather than a solution to underlying crises.
