Yoga at Hope For Youth

 

100% of the youth who participate in our yoga program find that it helps them better understand their feelings! Yoga is a great way for our youth to manage their feelings and deal with them in a calm rational way. According to Psychology Today yoga increases body awareness, relieves stress, reduces muscle tension, strain, and inflammation, sharpens attention and concentration, and calms and centers the nervous system.

A BIG thank you to SheaMoisture and the SofiTuckerFoundation for helping make this amazing program possible for the youth in our care!

The Sofi Tucker Foundation
Founded by the owners of Sundial Brands in 2012, and incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit, public charity, the Sofi Tucker Foundation supports causes inspired by the woman whose life’s work forms the basis for Sundial Brands products.

In 1912, as a young widow, Sofi Tucker sold African Black Soap and hand crafted Shea Butter based skin products in the village market and throughout the countryside of Bonthe, Sierra Leone.

In her memory, the foundation provides financial grants to organizations that seek to economically empower women, their families and communities in the United States and in Africa.
