Mission Statement

The Y.O.G.A. for Youth mission is to provide urban youth with tools for self-discovery that foster hope, discipline and respect for self, others and community.

What do we do?

Y.O.G.A. for Youth brings Yoga and Meditation to urban youth in schools, community facilities, detention centers and jails in order to break the cycle of incarceration in our inner cities. We accomplish this by training teachers to help create miracles in the lives of adolescents who desperately need tools to navigate their very difficult environments and situations.

Why Youth?

YOGA for Youth acknowledges that the youth are our future. In order to promote a positive and productive future, we must teach our youth skills to make healthy choices to become positive and productive members and leaders of our communities.
