Our Mission
Freedom Youth Yoga delivers mindful movement and breathing practices to kids and teens in the Atlanta area, especially those from underserved communities. We empower youth to cultivate focus, emotional regulation, and resilience—fostering a strong foundation for lifelong well-being.
About Freedom Youth Yoga
After teaching in a Title I high school for 18 years, our founder saw firsthand that young people needed more than just academics to thrive—they needed tools for life. Many students faced stress, trauma, and challenges beyond the classroom, yet lacked the resources to manage them. Freedom Youth Yoga was born from the belief that mindfulness, movement, and breathwork can empower youth to navigate life with intention, resilience, and confidence.
​
Our mission is to bring mindful movement and breathing practices to kids and teens across metro Atlanta, especially in underserved neighborhoods. We are committed to creating equity and accessibility in mental, physical, and behavioral health—ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to develop self-awareness, focus, and emotional well-being. Since our founding, Freedom Youth Yoga has grown to become a trusted resource for schools, camps, and community organizations. In 2024 alone, we partnered with 14 organizations and provided programming for 9 different summer camps across the city.

Join our mission to empower the next generation with the tools they need to thrive—on and off the mat.
Our Team
Our work is guided by a team of dedicated leaders who believe every young person deserves tools for resilience, focus, and emotional well-being. These board members help shape the vision and strategy behind Freedom Youth Yoga’s mission to bring mindful movement and breath to youth across Atlanta—especially in communities that need it most.
