The Teen Yoga Mental Health charity (formerly foundation), has worked tirelessly since 2016 to promote yoga based techniques for young people in all contexts: social, educational and medical. It started in 2003 with Charlotta Martinus who taught yoga in her hometown in Bath for several years to great success. The charity has benefitted from Sport England, European Union and National Lottery funding. It has partnered with Leeds University, Westminster University, the BBC, Anna Freud Centre, Oxfam, NTNU, Salamanca University to research outcomes of educational and health benefits of yoga for young people. We run several courses every year online and face to face to train professionals and parents in bringing yoga to teens. Collaborations include, Youth Connect South West, Bath Young Carers, Bath University, Depaul, Mentor UK, lululemon, London Youth, College of Medicine. In parliament, we hold annual meetings with MPs and Lords in the House of Commons and Lords in London, on the impact of yoga for young people and in 2022 we created the Rational for Yoga in Schools, outlining the financial benefits of yoga for young people. This can be found on our website. We are a slimline, active charity whose mission is to bring joy and health to young people through yoga. We believe in the agency and creativity of young people to find their own health and path. We have 2000 graduates worldwide who advocate for Teen Yoga in over 20 countries. We have delivered courses in Johannesburg, South Africa and Sierra Leone as part of our outreach.
