Yoga to Incarcerated Youth & Underserved Communities

THE MOMENT YOU VALUE YOURSELF, THE WHOLE WORLD VALUES YOU - Yogi Bhajan

UpRising Yoga’s Mission Statement is simple: to bring yoga to incarcerated youth and communities that need it  the most. We teach yoga in juvenile halls, detention facilities, group homes, community centers and schools. The specific populations served are incarcerated youth, children with a history of foster care, commercially sexual exploitation children (CSEC) and communities that need it the most. We hold Trauma Informed Yoga Trainings for all, Empowerment Workshops and Trauma Sensitive Classes in local communities.

Learn

UpRising Yoga is a non-profit that brings yoga life skills and mindful meditation to incarcerated youth and communities. We teach yoga in juvenile halls, detention facilities, probation camps, group homes, community centers and schools. We hold trauma informed yoga trainings for all and teach many styles of yoga in areas that don't offer yoga.

Teach

UpRising Yoga offers a Trauma Informed Yoga Curriculum, Manual and Training that prepares you to teach in facilities and Communities with a more Compassionate and Mindful Education. This will enable you to help carry the message of yoga in more places. We value the mission of taking yoga into underserved communities where yoga can provide Health, Wellness and Resilience.
