The Art of Yoga Project is at the forefront of leading trauma-informed yoga and creative expression programming for marginalized girls* and gender-expansive youth. Its direct service programming spans four counties across the San Francisco Bay Area and seeks to make its evidence-based model available to girls* and gender expansive youth everywhere! The Art of Yoga Project is looking for organizations who are interested in integrating its model of trauma-informed and gender-responsive yoga into their programs within their local communities as part of the National Affiliate Program. The vision is to make a very real impact on the healing and empowerment of marginalized and system involved girls.
If you work with adolescent girls and gender expansive youth and are interested in bringing fun, engaging and effective trauma-informed yoga and creative expression programming to your youth, you are invited to submit a National Affiliate Grant Application. The Art of Yoga Project is looking for non-profits that see the value in using yoga and creative expression to support the work they are already doing in their communities. Grantees will gain insight into the ways in which mindfulness can heal trauma on a neurological level. They will come to understand how mindfulness can support the work they do with youth beyond the yoga circle and in every instance when they come into contact with their youth participants. Most importantly, they will learn how to make yoga and art fun and developmentally appropriate for teens.
