Mission Statement
The Art of Yoga Project's mission is to bring mindfulness-based practices to system-involved and other marginalized youth for their healing and empowerment. The Art of Yoga Project recognizes that youth face the stress of inequity, injustice, and trauma - early and ongoing.
About This Cause
Since 2005, we have served over 15,000 marginalized youth across the San Francisco Bay area. Trauma-informed yoga and art educators deliver our mindfulness-based programming in short and long-term detention and rehabilitation centers; substance abuse recovery settings; agencies serving CSEC (commercially sexually exploited children); Level 14 facilities (for youth with high psychiatric needs), and schools. To promote systemic change and healing in our communities requires collaboration at all levels. We partner with county behavioral health, education, probation, judiciary, departments of children, youth and family services, and other community-based organizations.
