Abstract
Mandela Yoga Project aims to improve health outcomes and reduce costs for communities with lived experience of chronic illness and systemic racism. Codeveloped with diverse staff at a safety-net health center, the Mandela Yoga Group Medical Visit model was piloted (n = 32) in two five- to six-week groups for patients with multiple chronic conditions. We report qualitative and quantitative findings (reduced pain, increased belonging, healing relationships), and discuss systems alignment to scale this peer-led, trauma-informed, culturally resonant public health intervention.
