Do you work with youth? Does your organization, school or company work with youth? Our training equips you with the tools to bring mindfulness, yoga and breath practices to youth.
We teach youth about things they don't often learn about in society or school- like the power of the present moment, how to calm your body and mind by breathing, why it's so important to listen to your gut, and the list goes on...
Help inspire a generation of mindful, in tune, beings!
Next training is online May 31- June 1.

Did you saskitew | Ignite and ROOTS are both happening this spring?

You could attend ROOTS first, fill you cup with all the tools needed to share yoga and mindfulness with youth, and then come to the saskitew retreat and fill you cup with community and people lit up about the same thing you are doing!

All the details for both can be found on our website. www.vyfy.org

Build yourself and meaningful and purpose filled spring that fuels your career and passion!

Thank you for sharing this Cheryl!

According to an old Native American legend, one day there was a big fire in the forest. All the animals fled in terror in all directions, because it was a very violent fire. Suddenly, the jaguar saw a hummingbird pass over his head, but in the opposite direction. The hummingbird flew towards the fire!

Whatever happened, he wouldn't stop. Moments later, the jaguar saw him pass again, this time in the same direction as the jaguar was walking. He could observe this coming and going, until he decided to ask the bird about it, because it seemed very bizarre behavior.

"What are you doing, hummingbird?" he asked.

"I am going to the lake," he answered, "I drink water with my beak and throw it on the fire to extinguish it." The jaguar laughed. 'Are you crazy? Do you really think that you can put out that big fire on your own with your very small beak?'

'No,' said the hummingbird, 'I know I can't. But the forest is my home. It feeds me, it shelters me and my family. I am very grateful for that. And I help the forest grow by pollinating its flowers. I am part of her and the forest is part of me. I know I can't put out the fire, but I must do my part.'

At that moment, the forest spirits, who listened to the hummingbird, were moved by the bird and its devotion to the forest, miraculously they sent a torrential downpour, which put an end to the great fire.

The Native American grandmothers would occasionally tell this story to their grandchildren, then conclude with, "Do you want to attract miracles into your life? Do your part."

“You have no responsibility to save the world or find the solutions to all problems—but to attend to your particular personal corner of the universe. As each person does that, the world saves itself.’"
