Changing The World… One Breath At A Time
Who we are.
The world is a stressful place, and many teens and young adults do not have the skills or resources to navigate their stress. The nonprofit, Yoga4MSD, was founded in the wake of a terrible tragedy, the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas (MSD) High School.
Amy Kenny, the former Yoga teacher at the MSD, facilitated community wide healing through Yoga and mindfulness before the shooting at the school, but especially after the tragedy both at the school and in the community. The students and teens began to express interest in learning the practice in a way to help heal others.
Thus, Yoga4MSD began to raise funds to send teens and young adults through Yoga teacher Training, Sound Healing Training, Reiki Training, where they continue to bring the practice to their communities and colleges after graduation.
We have facilitated over 35 young adults become certified in many modalities of mindfulness and they are out in the world creating more PEACE!
Yoga, Meditation, and Mindfulness practices are scientifically proven to help move energy through our bodies, calm our brains, and cultivate a greater sense of peace and overall wellbeing.
What we do.
Through our fundraising efforts we facilitate students, teachers, and young adults, through scholarship opportunities, in finding and completing teacher training in Yoga, Reiki, and Sound Healing. Yoga4MSD also sends students on healing retreats worldwide.
We have graduated seven cohorts of mindfulness teachers, that have personally found healing, and then gone on to reach thousands of others this practice. These students become certified instructors, watching the ripple effect take effect in their communities.
You can help.
Yoga helps to reduce anxiety, and stress. We aim to bring healing modalities into more schools, certify more practitioners, and send more students on retreats, but we cannot achieve our goals alone.
