Trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness for youth - delivered where students are.
The Oxygen Project: Yoga for Youth partners with schools and community organizations to deliver trauma-informed yoga, mindfulness, and social-emotional wellness supports that strengthen self-regulation, confidence, and connection.
What We Offer
School-Based Wellness Programming
Trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness integrated into the school day to support student well-being, behavior, and readiness to learn
Youth-Centered Skill Building
Breathing, grounding, and movement tools students can use in real time - at school, at home, and in the community.
Adult & School Community Support
Professional development and wellness sessions that help staff sustain supportive environments and prevent burnout.
Why It Matters
Stress, trauma, and chronic adversity show up in the classroom - often through behavior, disengagement, conflict, or withdrawal. Our programming helps students build the skills that make learning possible: regulation, focus, body awareness, and the ability to pause before reacting.
How We Partner
We collaborate with educators, youth-serving organizations, and families to align services with each site’s culture, needs, and goals. Programming is adaptable for classrooms, small groups, after-school, and community spaces.

“
“Some students mistakenly believed yoga is a religion or that it took a lot of practicing to be good at yoga or to do a class. They learned it was accessible as well as taught them perseverance. Some thought they were athletic and could just do it. This taught them to stretch in more ways than one.”

“
One middle school boy stayed after one session to ask if I could help him be less angry. I felt like he opened up about a few things and it’s challenging to be vulnerable at the age. Just knowing I was a safe space to identify those emotions to felt really impactful.”
