Meet the Y.O.G.A for Youth NC Advisory Board

Azucena Santana

“I’m serving on the advisory board because I believe it’s important to ensure our Latinx/Hispanic community is aware of Y.O.G.A. for Youth and its benefits.”

Kenneth Strickland

“I am on the board to advocate for marginalized children. I want to ensure the Y.O.G.A. for Youth curriculum is culturally competent, developmentally appropriate, and empowering.”

Calvin Carter

“As a Kundalini yoga teacher, I recognize the value of empowering youth with tools to manage life’s challenges. Through teaching breathing techniques, meditation and the eight principles, we teach our youth to calm their minds. As a Y.O.G.A for Youth-NC advisory board member, my mission is to promote and expand the program. I would love to one day see yoga be part of the curriculum in every school in our nation.”
