Description
In 2017, Lauren Greenspan and Julia Handelman were teaching in Columbus, Ohio, where they experienced students’ social emotional distress on a daily, hourly basis. In response, they founded the Youth Yoga Project to be a part of the solution that meets the emotional needs of all K-12 students. Their solution remains rooted in teaching, but now Julia and Lauren teach teachers how to implement their research-based mindfulness curriculum. Started by teachers for teachers, the Youth Yoga Project has trained 1700 educators and empowered 40,000 students with skills to calm their nervous systems and brains, allowing them to make responsible decisions.
