Encourage Wholeness
When the rest of the world challenges young people to be more, try harder, look a certain way, and draw personal comparisons, it becomes imperative to provide them that cherished time to slow down and remember that who they are in this moment is always enough. YauvanaYoga provides a safe space for participants to listen inwardly, empowering them to weed out negative self talk and nurture the thoughts only worth believing in.
Keep Calm and...
In order to truly feel calm, having the tools to turn inwards is essential. Everything we feel and do relates to our well-being and directly affects our actions and emotions. Between screen images, constant instructions for learning, and the process of developing greater responsibilities, youth often source outlets that allow for their minds to disengage from thinking, but miss the vital step of really connecting within. Becoming Calm requires choosing the mindset we want to live within. We are here to facilitate students' discovery of their thinking muscles that create that mindset.
Make the Journey a Happy One!
Even when life gets us down, knowing that we are able to take a step back and see a bigger picture creates the chance to experience gratitude and joy. YauvanaYoga starts with something as basic as a yoga pose to allow for the mind to pull back from its wanderings and focus on what matters, all of which lends itself to strengthening our "storytelling muscles" as well as our physical bodies. When we feel our stillness and the vitality within, it's hard not to experience the wonders of Life!
