I am starting a Meditation, Mindfulness, and Yoga group. It will be over Zoom until we are able to go back to school. Historically, only middle class and upper class people have had access to yoga and I am passionate about bringing it to urban communities. Through yoga we have an ability to transform our brains, neural pathways, and thought patterns so we are not victims to our reactions. I will provide a space for teenagers to practice effective stress management tools through meditation and yoga. Teenagers who've experienced ongoing chronic trauma are very reactive and constantly feel that they are fighting for their lives, even in what may appear to be a safe environment. Our students need mindfulness and yoga to feel calm and comfortable, which is necessary for a productive learning environment. Our students would achieve at a much higher rate if we provided mental health tools like meditation and yoga. This will be the pilot year of the program and I am committed to staying at my High School to grow the program and spread mindful awareness to the Richmond community.
