Roiza is taking part in a female-only yoga lesson for members of the orthodox Jewish community at the Triangle Centre Family Hub in South Tottenham. With nine children at home, this one-hour window of exercise and relaxation gives her the respite needed to “emotionally and physically recharge”, she says.
Based in the centre’s community hall, the yoga class is just one of a programme of activities specifically for the local Haredi orthodox Jewish community.
Roiza also comes to Jewish stay-and-play sessions twice a week with her youngest children aged 12, 10 and three.
“It’s great we have facilities that cater to our community,” she says. “I wouldn’t be able to do yoga if it was mixed or not suitable, so this is amazing.”
