REFNo: SS420ES

Healing and Resilience through Yoga (Hart Yoga) is a trauma-informed yoga program to support survivors of human trafficking in Uganda with psycho-social recovery. The
proposed study will evaluate Hart Yoga’s feasibility, acceptability and impact with women and adolescent girls residing in Willow International’s (https://www.willowinternational.org/) shelters for survivors of human trafficking in Kampala, Uganda. This study will advance the limited field of health and mental health research with survivors of human trafficking and provide pilot data for publication and the development of a subsequent effectiveness trial. The methodology will address two primary objectives:

• Objective 1: To determine Hart Yoga’s feasibility and acceptability among participants and successful delivery within a residential shelter setting.
• Objective 2: To assess physical, psychological and social outcomes among program participants using qualitative and quantitative methods.
