For the past year, project co-directors Erin Moon and Barrie Risman created a teacher training program for communities served by World Spine Care. This program trains local people to offer free yoga classes for WSC patients.  The first 10-day training was offered for the Shoshong and Mahalapye clinics last month. Free yoga classes are now being offered by our trainees at both clinics. Classes have been very well-attended with up to 30 patients!
