Goals

Our goals are to teach teenagers how to live a more mindful existence with less stress and more balance and joy in their lives.

Within a workshop setting, the students will learn how to reduce stress and anxiety through yoga, mindfulness meditation, and journaling. In addition, other practical approaches to calming the mind and body will be discussed.

Reasons

In February 2013, the TDSB released a mental health census which was conducted in 2011, involving over 100,000 students. The outcome was disturbing.
Over 70% of the teens reported feeling sad, worried and concerned about their future.
These alarming statistics have ignited in us a passion and commitment to helping youth find ways of managing their stress.
