OUR MISSION<br />
ROOT. INSPIRE.<br />
SUPPORT. EMPOWER.<br />
<strong>RISE</strong> Yoga for Youth empowers students to be agents of<br />
positive change in the world. Through the physical<br />
practice of yoga, wellness education, and community<br />
building, students develop inner resources to respond to<br />
life’s challenges in constructive ways.<br />
Our innovative curriculum has shown to increase<br />
attendance and retention rates, improve academic<br />
achievement, and help students manage stress. The<br />
curriculum incorporates physical exercise, breath work,<br />
and activities that foster social and emotional learning.<br />
Stress management techniques and mindfulness exercises<br />
are an integral part of each class, so students can lead<br />
healthier, happier, resilient lives.
