We support schools and communities by using yoga and mindfulness to connect the mind-body-spirit, nurture children and adults with holistic educational services and grow high-quality produce for optimal wellness.
- Speak & Grow -is for schools that are looking to reduce the number of referrals and increase awareness of healthy food choices by having a SEL centered program. Students learn critical skills in speaking and advocating for one self.
- Rooted Entrepreneurs- is for high schools to expose students to careers and entrepreneurship in health and wellness.
- Special events and workshops- serve the community to support in managing chronic illness, healing techniques from generational distress, and mental liberation with yoga, mindfulness and nature.
Without our programs, many people would not be exposed or introduced to fresh produce and health and wellness practices or try. This is needed to create stability in the homes to grow their own food and thrive.
