Our Mission
Freedom Youth Yoga delivers mindful movement and breathing practices to kids and teens in the Atlanta area, especially those from underserved communities.
Our programs instill lifelong skills to improve mental and physical health, build resilience, navigate life's complexities, focus intentions, and empower authenticity.
Current Projects
1
Accelerated Accessibility of Youth Yoga
We take mindful movement and breathing practices to schools, classrooms, parks, community centers, summer camps, family events, and anywhere else where metro Atlanta preschoolers, kids, and teens already are. In classes that range from 20 to 90 minutes, participants practice yoga poses, breathing techniques, and mindfulness.
2
Youth Yoga Army
Adults from underserved communities in the Atlanta are invited to apply for a scholarship to a program that will train to deliver instruction of yoga to kids and teens. These new instructors are then guided through the process of establishing a kids' yoga business, marketing, finding venues and participants, and establishing regularly scheduled events and classes.
3
Teen Ambassadors
We are developing a program for teens to learn how to teach yoga to those who are just a bit younger than they are. Leadership skills, a solid yoga practice, entrepreneurship, and apprenticeship will be central components.
