Learn the building blocks of developing and empowering your own grounding skills through yoga, movement, and mindfulness for whole being wellness—and then teach and practice with the kids in your life! Incorporate what you learn into transitions and routines at school, home, and beyond to support your own mental health and the well-being of youth around you.
Our courses are comprehensive and designed for parents, classroom teachers, counselors, therapeutic professionals, yoga instructors and others. Our YTT program is grounded in cultural appreciation, social justice, multiple languages, and original curricula. Participants graduate from our programs equipped and empowered to teach yoga and mindfulness to youth in diverse settings. Scholarships are available for historically marginalized communities and groups. Certificates of hours and course completion, and follow up coaching are also available.
Our trainings are rooted in:
- Educational and neuroscience theories
- The 8 Limbs of Yoga
- Research-Informed Mindfulness Techniques
- Trauma-informed offering multiple movement and somatic-based modalities
- Polyvagal-informed and Bio-psychosocial theories and practices

Our training leaders have their RYT-200 or RYT-500. Two leaders have completed a two year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. In addition to believing wholeheartedly in the life-changing theories and practices of YYY, we are parents, partners, teachers, consultants, retreat leaders; a non-profit founder, and an airline pilot.
