Summary

This project will allow Y.O.G.A. for Youth to continue prenatal yoga classes to teens at Thomas Riley High School, located in Compton, California. Our program will help these young girls effectively manage the challenges that come along with giving birth to a child, as a teen and being a parent, as well as give them additional tools to help them maintain focus on their school work and improve their grades.

Challenge

Our program addresses the challenges that come along with teen pregnancy, parenting, depression, stress, poor grades, low self esteem, and other self defeating behaviors that are prevalent among today's young people and young mothers.

Solution

Our curriculum addresses major components associated with diminishing fear, the root cause of anger, and increasing a belief in one's own greatness. We provide these young mothers with tools for self-discovery that foster hope, relaxation, discipline, and respect for self, their children, others, and community.

Long-Term Impact

Y.O.G.A. for Youth has been teaching yoga techniques and principles to young people for over sixteen years. In that time, the organization has served over eighteen thousand youth, supporting the management of health, wellness, grief, anxiety, stress, violence, and other symptoms associated with anger that prevent brilliant young minds from realizing their full potential.
