“Do Yoga, Beat Covid” project is to create an online portfolios of video on how to practise yoga at home, ideally without any additional guidance, targeting on people who suffer muscle and joint pain as well as breathing problem and mental problem (depression, anxiety, insomnia…) from Covid symptoms, whether they are currently a Covid positive or they have recovered from Covid
Why did we start this project?
I have talked to a lot of people who have recovered from Covid but still suffering muscle and joint pain and breathing problems. I myself had experienced the same situation a few months ago which led me to try yoga. It changed my life in the way that practicing yoga not only helped me to dissolve the muscle pain caused by Covid, but also freed me from almost all the physical problems that I had.
I became a yoga teacher since then because I hope everyone has the chance to experience what yoga has done to me. While most of us can afford to go in person to a yoga studio for classes, some, for different reasons, do not have that luxury. Therefore, I initiated this project, with the final goal is to create a portfolio of pre-record videos which provide guidance on how to practice yoga posture at home.
Who are we?
We are WeBalance, created by Yen Tran, a yoga teacher. MeBalance provides courses on yoga and meditation, breathing technique and meditation technique. Although Me Balance’s purpose is for everyone to experience a healthier lifestyle, one of its main objectives is to help Covid patients and people who suffer from light depression and anxiety. So far, MeBalance operated on donation
Who are we calling?
We are calling for yoga and meditation teachers, who want to collaborate with MeBalance to help us achieve our goals. We understand that to go far, we can not go alone. We need your help.
What is the outcome of the project?
We will ask the volunteer to record a video providing guidance on how to practise yoga poses which the volunteer believes will help with Covid patients. You can check out the guidances in the end
How will the project be run?
The volunteer will choose a yoga posture which they think could be helpful for Covid patient (based on the guideline) and record a video and send to us
We will edit the video and send back to volunteer for reviewing
MeBalance will create a yoga course specifically addressing Covid patients. Any course that uses these videos will be free of charge.
MeBalance are responsible for providing volunteer with the detail, progress and outcome of the project
