Vinyasa Yoga For Youth

VISION & MISSION

At Vinyasa Yoga for Youth our vision is to empower youth locally and globally in a fun and engaging way, so that they will become reconnected, make healthier life choices, and have an enhanced capacity for compassion. We believe in the power of yoga and that peace begins with children.

Mission

Vinyasa Yoga for Youth (VYFY) empowers youth aged 5 TO 22 through the practice of Yoga. Our primary focus is on the unique challenges facing “at risk youth”. The program supplements curriculums in primary and secondary schools in both urban and rural contexts by (a) providing in-­‐school workshops, (b) supporting afterschool programs and youth groups, and (c) holding weekend and summer retreats/camps.

YOUTH RETREAT

We had a wonderful Yoga retreat on March 10th. Ryan led the training with the support of the Vinyasa Yoga for Youth teachers. We had youth attend from Calder, Oskayak, Nutana, CNYC and Royal West. Big thanks to our sponsor – Community Initiative Fund! We couldn’t have done this with out you!
