Yoga strength SL
Sierra Leone may not be the kind of place you expect to find yoga. But thanks to a group called Yoga Strength, it is becoming increasingly popular. The organisation is headed by Tamba Fayia, once a child soldier in Sierra Leone's civil war, who in 2012 became the country's first qualified yoga teacher. Yoga Strength focuses on taking yoga to the people that need it. Tamba teaches at Sierra Leone's only mental hospital in the east of Freetown, and therapists say the classes have led to clear psychological improvements in some patients.
