At Sōl City Yoga, we believe that personal transformation and community transformation are inseparable. Approximately 1 in 5 youth ages 3–17 have a mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral disorder, yet up to 40% of adolescents with major depression go completely untreated. [1, 2]

While not a replacement for clinical care, yoga and mindfulness interventions are clinically shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD in children, while improving focus and stress management.

Through our partnerships with elementary, middle and high schools in low income communities, we're working to change that—one breath, one movement and one moment of mindfulness at a time.

Our impact so far since 2017:

• Over 50,000 students have experienced yoga, meditation or creative expression programming through school partnerships in Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan

• We have provided 7,600 hours and counting of free programming; delivered to parents, guardians and students in grades K-12 and college.

• We have trained 40+ middle school and high school teachers in basic mindfulness meditation and Trauma Informed Yoga techniques.

When you choose Sōl City Yoga, you're not just investing in your own well-being you are creating opportunities for the youth and people directly supporting them to discover life-changing yoga, mindfulness and stress management practices - on-site at their schools before, during or after school. Thank you!
