About Yogiños: Yoga for Youth®​

For over a decade Yogiños: Yoga for Youth® has provided an OHMazing®, comprehensive and interdisciplinary training program and curriculum, weaving English, Spanish, and Sanskrit. Our founder, Dr. Beth Reese, integrates research-based educational theories and practices with various cultural beliefs, including: multiple intelligences; constructivism; tenets of Mental, including CASEL’s new Transformative SEL competencies; the 8 Limbs of yoga; and other ancient traditions. Moreover, our trainings and resources integrate mindfulness and yoga with original art, music, games, stories, and other sensory-integrated activities to promote flexibility, strength, balance, collaboration, civic and social responsibility, nutrition, and well-being on and off the yoga mat.

YYY is a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE). Currently we have 1 full-time person and 15 part-time staff who are trainers, teachers, curriculum writers, and administrators; we grew 66% in 2020-2021. Our team includes a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, is 25% BIPOC, and we are committed to expansion. We also represent an age-range spanning 30 years, and live in 5 states.

We are grateful to offer our Yogiños: Yoga for Youth® Digital School featuring MOSST! The MOSST (Mindful and OHMazing® Strategies for Students and Teachers) curriculum supports the implementation and integration of a community-wide skill set of research-based and trauma-informed Mindfulness life-skills. These life-skills include tools and strategies such as intentional breathing, focused attention on thoughts and sensations, and movement routines that create compassionate self-regulation of emotions and energy levels.

We are endorsed by Andrew Weil, M.D., and are in cooperation with prAna. We are honored to work with private and public schools of all levels.  

In addition to classes for kids and families offered in various cities and states, we have served as a Registered Children’s Yoga School (RCYS) for over a decade, presenting participants the choice to become a YYY instructor or earn the internationally renowned Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher (RCYT) credential. Moreover, as we move into our second decade of providing educational leadership, we now provide in-person and online Continuing Education courses.
