75%NOT GETTING HELP
According to the NHS 75% of young people struggling with mental health won't get the help they need. That percentage is unacceptable to us so we're working to empower as many children and teens as possible with practical mental health tools that they can use in their daily lives.

WHERE DID MY YOGA JOURNEY BEGIN?
ABOUT OUR FOUNDER At three low points in my life, well-meaning friends suggested I try yoga. At the time I dismissed their suggestions completely because I thought yoga was for white, privileged, skinny women with time on their hands. I honestly thought, "Who recommends yoga for depression!" But at 25 my mom lost her battle with cancer and I hit rock bottom. At the time I didn't know it, but my grief was manifesting physically and I started suffering from shortness of breath, neck pains, and severe chest pains.
But there was no relief in conventional western medicine. After multiple tests and scans could not find the source of the pain, I tried yoga as a last resort, and it saved my life. Through yoga I was able to regain control of my breath, body and mind. And overtime I was able to release emotions and pain that I had been bottling up since I was a teenager. You see, from age 11 up until I was 21, I suffered in silence from depression, but my story isn't unique. The NHS says 75% of children and teens struggling with mental health don’t get the help they need. So I plan to change that. Because I know that if I had discovered yoga and meditation when I was teenager that the quality of my life would have better sooner. I know I would've been a happier and stronger kid. So it's my mission, joy, and goal to give back what I wish I had when I was growing up. Through my regular yoga practice I have healed in unexpected and lasting ways and I have gained so much that I now look to pay it forward wherever I can. |
