CTR is honored to provide its Befriending the Body services to Project Worthmore clients. Through CTR’s Befriending the Body program, participants connect breath to movement and song in a way that promotes the same healing benefits as traditional yoga practice but that also fosters a joyful sense of community.  Adding dance to the weekly yoga practice offered at Project Worthmore helped to engage the participants, remove cultural barriers and forge a relationship between CTR staff and the refugees.
