About Maitri Studio

We are an open, inclusive yoga & wellbeing studio based in Belfast - we look forward to meeting you!

New here? We're a bit different from most studios: all the teachers (https://maitristudio.net/team) & therapists (https://maitristudio.net/therapy) work independently so you book directly with them, except for some Iyengar yoga classes and workshops.

About the PEACEPLUS OUR Generation Project:

OUR Generation is a PEACEPLUS funded project led by Action Mental Health and a cross-border partnership of 9 organisations including Co-operation Ireland, Youth Action NI, Boys & Girls Clubs NI, Donegal Youth Service, PlayBoard NI, Youth Work Ireland, Include Youth, and Ulster University. OUR Generation will focus on delivering impactful initiatives for youth mental health and wellbeing and contribute to peace and reconciliation through cross-border and cross-community initiatives. The project aims to increase mental health literacy, enhance emotional resilience, build leadership skills of CYP and lead research in mental health and the impact of trauma on our communities. The project will incorporate trauma-informed practice and build interpersonal, intrapersonal, and intergroup skills in young people to promote shared learning and diversity. We will work with young people aged 9-25 and key youth workers including any adults working with young people in a professional or volunteer capacity.

Co-operation Ireland's will focus on connecting groups on a cross community and cross border basis based upon common needs and shared interests with the development of activities and training to address issues, specifically around the promotion of emotional resilience, empathy and understanding underpinned by building peace & reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland.
