Shared social experiences as therapeutic interventions for psychosocial health: a community-based model
Treating yoga as a mental health intervention with community-based mental health programmes

London
I am a social entrepreneur with a devoted interest in how health inequality and social disparity can be tackled through accessible, community-based wellbeing services. I am the founder of Supply Yoga, a London-based social enterprise that works with third-sector and grassroots community organisations to make mind and body practices and shared social experiences accessible to populations living at risk of poor health due to myriad intersectional social determinants. Supply Yoga's theory of change is underpinned by principles of community cohesion, inclusion and participation and lays the foundations for my long-term goal to embed non-clinical health interventions within formal healthcare pathways for the most under-represented.
I am a candidate for postgraduate study in social anthropology and contemporary ethnography, with a special focus on the complex experience of migrants and refugee populations. Using travel, study and research, I aspire to spend the coming years developing sustainable models for health equity for displaced communities in the UK and beyond.
