YEAH YOGA

About this Organization

In the past seven years, we have provided over 800 yoga and mindfulness classes to more than 5,000 participants within and outside of secure facilities. Youth need support, guidance, and access to tools that will help them better navigate the challenges they are faced with. Our evidence-based, trauma-informed curriculum is specifically designed to help youth develop the skills to regulate their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In 2024 we returned to the roots of our programming by providing classes at the Rivarde Detention Center. Your support will move us one step closer to sustainable programming, and closer to reaching our goal of offering 200 more classes to youth in detention, re-entry, diversion, foster care and homeless support programs. In 2024, with your help, we launched the pilot of our Youth Yoga Teacher Training courses, specifically designed for young learners ages 16-24. This free program of yoga and mindfulness, offers job skills development and a path to employment for youth. It is our hope that our trainees will grow into leaders in their communities, and become YEAH! YOGA teachers and leaders within our organization.
