Djirra
Did you know that $2 from every Sasana Eco Product sold and Sasana Yoga Workshop booked is donated to Djirra?
For thousands of years, First Nations Peoples have nurtured community, culture and Country.
When we step into our studio, operate our Sasana Eco line, and come together to share the practices of yoga, we do so on Aboriginal land. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and we pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the land on which our community exists, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.
Djirra is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation that offers practical support to all Aboriginal women, and particularly to Aboriginal people who are currently experiencing family violence, or have done in the past. The work they do is predominantly designed by and for Aboriginal women.
With it’s roots stemming back to 2002, they were first established as the Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention & Legal Service (FVPLS Victoria). Djirra has since grown, expanded their services, and evolved to become what it is today, supporting First Nation’s Peoples with;
Prevention of Family Violence
Cultural and Wellbeing Workshops
Koori Women’s Place
Aboriginal Family Violence Legal Service
Support Services
Policy and Advocacy
We commit to supporting this cause so that this remarkable group can continue what they do for years to come. You can read more on this incredible initiative here, and support our donations when buying anything from our line of Sasana Eco Products here and booking into any of our workshops (check out whats on here).
Always was, always will be.
