Whether your life has been impacted by caring for someone who is aging, a child with special needs, someone with physical or mental illness, or any other type of caretaking, this is your place. 

 

Are you feeling lost? Alone? Like no one can possibly understand what you are going through? We can. We understand. Though the circumstances may be different, we are all in similar situations—we put the needs of those in our care before our own. Always. 

​

For the longest time I believed no one could possibly understand what it was like to be in my situation—the demands put on me, the time I needed to give, the exhaustion I felt fighting a daily uphill battle with no chance for a positive outcome. I swallowed my stress and ignored my own cries for help until a debilitating case of Shingles left me (permanently) scarred and in agony. But despite even this, I kept going… because caregivers can’t stop, right? I felt so sad and so isolated, that when I finally collapsed into my bed, I would scroll through my phone looking for any place I could go for connection.  Someplace where someone else would understand. 

 

I found nothing. 

​

That’s what brought me to creating Yoga Care for Caregivers. Here in this safe environment, we hold space for one another, allowing us each to speak, vent, rage, and ultimately feel less alone. 

This isn’t a yoga class, although we will practice gentle yoga poses for those who would like to participate. This is a community of likeminded people, brought together by their commitment to those they care for.

​

So, whether you are now or have been a caretaker, this is your place.
