New Leaf Foundation was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to wellness-based resources and the understanding that not everyone is afforded that access. Our online training program, Reaching In, Reaching Out, aims to bridge this gap by sharing our best practices for fostering inclusivity and accessibility in yoga and mindfulness.
Over 8 modules, you will learn about anti-oppression practices, the impacts of trauma, our key frameworks for offering yoga and mindfulness. Topics include establishing healthy boundaries, effective engagement strategies, and considerations for fostering safer spaces. You’ll dig into lived experiences, biases, assumptions, and learning in order to be able to reach out to others in meaningful and respectful ways.
Benefiting from our 16 years of experience offering yoga and mindfulness to youth in equity-deserving communities, this training offers a rich toolkit of resilience-building tools and activities. Our approaches were originally developed for youth aged 10-24, the content is adaptable to various yoga service and non-service settings, ensuring its relevance and applicability across diverse contexts.
