Shanti Generation was founded in 2009 in response to a need for youth-centric yoga and mindfulness resources. Our programs are informed by over 16 years of fieldwork with youth in schools, community centers and yoga studios. We merge simplified yogic techniques in a progressive, developmental style of education that meets social, emotional, mental and physical needs of young people. OUR TWO MAIN GOALS ARE TO: 1. Provide greater access to the benefits of yoga and mindfulness for older children and teens via our DVD programs. 2. Support parents and teachers in gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities and nuances involved in helping youth integrate mindfulness into everyday life. From the classroom to the yoga mat to the home, we aim to inspire youth with peacemaking skills for healthy, whole lives.
