Some people get to be well.

Others do not.

We are committed to narrowing this global wellbeing gap.

Wellbeing is a birthright

We believe in the power of community-led intervention.

We believe that by offering tools for healing in communities with little to no other psychosocial support, we begin to narrow the global wellbeing gap.

We believe that if we empower community leaders, they will share the practices with others, creating a ripple effect of healing.

OMPowerment in action

“I’ve been so sad for so long. This is the first time I’ve felt happy. Every night I go home smiling.”

— OMPowerment Trainee, Palestine, November 2017

“I feel safer and more comfortable…I have a lot less stress moving through my body….no matter where you come from or who you are, yoga is something you can do”

— OMPowerment Trainee Norway, June 2018

"At first I felt alone - but then I felt the support of my friends in the circle. I didn’t feel alone - I felt love."
