OUR IMPACT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

Teens and children are struggling with mental health now more than ever, but many continue to struggle alone due to cultural stigma surrounding mental illness and the lack of access to meaningful and continuous care. In this time of increased anxiety, bullying, trauma, and isolation our youth need practical tools such as yoga and mindfulness more than ever to give them agency over their own health and well-being.

72%

MORE PEACEFUL

All students who participated in our Teen Yoga After-School Pilot in were asked to complete a survey on their experience in the programme and any benefits they experienced. After participating in 6 to 8 yoga and meditation sessions, 72% of our teen participants reported that they felt more peaceful.

82%

LESS ANXIOUS

Anxiety is very common in pre-teens and teenagers because adolescence is a time of emotional, physical and social change, which is happening at the same time as teenage brains are changing. With regular pranayama, yoga, and meditation sessions 82% of our teen participants felt less anxious.

72%

MORE CALM

At SOHAM we know that when we can bring calm to the body we can help achieve a calm state of mind. So we focus on using the breath and postures to calm the body first. To put it simply, calm body - calm mind. At the end of our pilot program, 72% of our teen participants reported that they felt more peaceful. 

All students who participated in the Teen Yoga ​After-School Pilot in March were asked to complete a survey on their experience in the programme, of which 75% of participants provided their feedback. Teens were asked how they felt they benefited from their participation; 100% of participants agreed they benefited in some way.

Ms. Tiffany was amazing! She showed a clear understanding of what she was teaching and explained it perfectly. She reached out to each of us individually and helped us to express ourselves more. I couldn’t have asked for anyone else.

I realized that everyone goes through their own traumatic situations, and some people just want to be heard instead of being judged.

I was at the camp on spring break and it was really nice. It's a yoga camp, and there's art and writing too. Miss Tiffany is very kind and intelligent, and I respect her a lot. It's quite admirable that she decided to do what she loves most.
