MAP's vision is a future where all Palestinians can access an effective, sustainable, and locally-led system of healthcare, and the full realization of their rights to health and dignity. Our programs, designed and delivered by Palestinians, provide access to essential health services and build local knowledge and skills to address Palestinian health problems. In times of humanitarian emergency, we are ready to respond rapidly with aid and assistance. MAP is also committed to bearing witness to the injustices caused by occupation, displacement, and conflict. We speak out internationally and ensure Palestinian voices are heard at the highest levels, to press for the political and social barriers to Palestinian health and dignity to be addressed.

About Lauren
Lauren moved to Portugal from the U.S. in 2016 and that's where her passion for yoga grew from a hobby to a habit, to a passion. She first began teaching aerial yoga and soon expanded her knowledge to hatha, vinyasa, yin, and myofascial release. She co-owns Cozy Yoga + Community in Porto and leads retreats in Spain and Portugal.
As a teacher, her goal is to help you find joy in every pose and the laughter that dissolves the ego and allows us to love our bodies with simple abandon. She believes that yoga opens a door to uncover the healing, love, and support we all need to live in tune with our most essential selves.
