yoga & meditation classes: taraji
Taraji means hope.
Taraji is a Swahili word meaning hope, expectation or anticipation.
Taraji carries a positive and optimistic vibes and represents a desire for good things to come.
Lisa and Julie have found hope, healing and peace through meditation and yoga practice and so we knew we wanted to incorporate both into F2H's services.

This class is geared toward focused attention, breathwork, and mindfulness to achieve a state of mental clarity, deep relaxation, and emotional calmness.

Freedom 2 Hope, Inc. - Empowering Communities
- Research indicates that caregivers of children with special needs, particularly autism, experience chronic, high-stress levels comparable to combat soldiers. A University of Wisconsin-Madison study found that mothers of adolescents and adults with autism had low levels of a stress hormone (cortisol) similar to soldiers in combat, indicating chronic stress exhaustion.
- Caregivers of children with special needs often face intense physical, emotional, and financial strain, requiring high levels of resilience to manage daily tasks, medical needs, and advocacy.
- Caregivers often face daily, high-stress events, often spending at least two hours more on caregiving tasks daily than other parents, leading to higher fatigue and frequent interruptions.
Dear caregiver, you are not overreacting, being dramatic or weak.
You are carrying a lot, doing so much, loving hard & trying to manage.
I See YOU!
