Learning skills that last a lifetime...

---

As part of the program, parents will participate in monthly learning sessions that will help them understand the exercises their child is learning, how to implement it at home, and some other tools that will help their family as they move into the teen years.  Our focus is on a healthy mind, body and family dynamics with our youth as they start to seek and need more independence in preparation for high school, work opportunities and other social interactions that require less parental involvement.  

Regular participation in both exercises (yoga and mindfulness) have been shown to lead to improvements in sleep and overall quality of life!

• The program will be done in coordination with UCF's College of Community Innovation and Education.
