Press Release – San Francisco (July, 2016) – Grokker, the digital and Video on Demand yoga, fitness, wellness and cooking platform, announces their exciting new alliance with Purple Dot Yoga Project, a non-profit organization that raises awareness of victims of domestic abuse via Yoga. One in four women and one in seven men will be affected by severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
A common condition impacting victims of domestic violence is Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), and studies show the practice of yoga is not only a vital survival tool but also helps victims heal and deal with the devastating and serious effects of PTSD. The connection between mind and body, along with deep breathing and calming poses, is a helpful healing tool for all yoga students, and especially victims of domestic violence, who need a safe place and a way to release anxiety and stress.
Grokker whose philosophy is “Be A Better You” has teamed up with the Purple Dot Yoga Project, and pledges to donate annually to this worthy cause. Grokker also supports other cause that effect women and has supported Diva For A Day, a non-profit that sends women with breast cancer out for a stress-free day of beauty. World experts are on hand 24/7 to lead yoga practices, for every level, and to help victims of domestic violence heal through deep breathing and poses. For Purple Dot Yoga Grokker supports the power of yoga and meditation in heeling and will provide lifetime memberships to help women who suffer from domestic violence. For Diva For A Day, Grokker provides memberships making healing at home easier and better for those who have cancer and making it to a gym is not feasible.
