A huge shoutout to Vanguard College Prep for recognizing that some of the most important life skills we can give young people aren’t just academic. ❤️
Today, we had the honor of welcoming students from Vanguard’s Life Skills class into Yoga8 for an introduction to yoga, meditation and mindfulness.
We talked about something we believe deeply at Yoga8: the ability to self-regulate is a life skill.
Learning how to pause. How to breathe. How to recognize what is happening within you. How to calm your nervous system instead of immediately reacting to the world around you. These are tools they can carry into stressful exams, relationships, college, careers, parenthood and every season of life.
At the end of our time together, one student said, “I already feel like a burden has been lifted.”
That’s the power of the practice. ❤️
What a gift it would be if we taught more young people that peace isn’t something they have to wait for the world to give them. It’s something they can learn to cultivate within themselves.
Thank you, Vanguard, for investing in the whole person and for allowing us to be a small part of it. It was truly an honor to have these young adults in our space.
If you have a school, team, organization or group that could benefit from a private yoga, meditation or mindfulness experience, we would love to welcome you to Yoga8.
