WE ARE
House of Yoga is an Asheville-based nonprofit that brings Mindfulness into schools. We seek to make teaching kids to breathe as universal as teaching them to read and introduce students to a calm and peaceful environment within themselves. We do this by giving tools to students to regulate their nervous systems and minds and establishing the mind-body-breath connection.
WHY UNITED FOR YOUTH
United for Youth is an organization we align with deeply, bringing the best and brightest hearts forward in service of the betterment of our community, especially those young people who are in our community schools. We would like to be as useful to our students, schools, and U4Y as possible, a partnership with U4Y seems to be the next right step for us!
