Description
The Art of Yoga Project brings mindfulness-based practices to system-involved and other marginalized youth for their healing and empowerment.

Quarterly surveys have shown at least 80% of youth consistently reporting improvements in interpersonal skills, pro-social behavior, and emotional regulation outside of class. Qualitative results suggest that the youth benefits greatly from the program.

Program areas at The Art of Yoga Project

The Art of Yoga Project quarterly surveys have shown at least 80% of youth consistently reporting improvements in interpersonal skills, pro-social behavior, and emotional regulation outside of class. Qualitative results suggests that the youth benefits greatly from an opportunity to feel safe and calm, a chance to learn how to best deal with their anger or negative emotions, and to spend time "being fully present in their bodies' each day versus the typical dissociation trauma can bring. Mentoring case studies show youth view themselves in a more positive and hopeful way; choose positive behaviors, and have improved relationships with family members, peers, teachers, and other case providers. Since our inception, The Art of Yoga Project has delivered over 15,000 classes to more than 10,000 unique youth.
