Project Yoga’s mission is to bring the healing and therapeutic benefits of yoga and mindfulness to at We hone the skills of mindfulness.

Project Yoga gives underserved communities a chance to experience the emotional and physical well being that can result from the practices of yoga and mindfulness. Yoga postures are challenging--even the simplest ones build strength, flexibility and resiliency from the inside out. We teach breathing techniques, showing how the act of breathing mirrors how we feel. We teach how to be patient and gentle with ourselves. How to respond rather than react to difficult emotions, pain and stress. To us, learning how to stand on one foot is not as important as learning how to fall and get back up. From a physical standpoint, yoga stretches not only muscles but the soft tissues of the body. That includes ligaments, tendons, and the fascia sheath that surrounds the muscles of the body. Project Yoga’s certified instructors are trained to teach to varying levels of ability and how to modify poses for safety. Modifying mindfulness practices and yoga poses to specific audiences is our forte. Project Yoga teachers know the intelligence behind moving and breath work. Our teaching style is straightforward and jargon-free. Project Yoga is pleased to be part of Cincinnati's movement towards 'whole person' approaches to mental health, wellness, physical strength, and resiliency.

Happy Thursday! A new school year brings new routines, new challenges, and new opportunities to grow. 🧡

Yoga and mindfulness help children build coping skills, emotional regulation, self-awareness, focus, and confidence: tools they can carry from the mat into the classroom and beyond.

Try these research-informed practices:
• Breathe with intention. Slow, deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping shift from stress to calm.
• Move with awareness. Research suggests 10 minutes of mindful movement can support attention, memory, and cognitive flexibility.
• Pause and check in. Mindfulness can reduce anxiety and strengthen emotional regulation, helping students navigate big feelings.

Kid-friendly poses to try:
• Tree Pose: Balance on one foot to build focus and confidence.
• Butterfly Pose: Sit with soles together and gently flap your knees to soothe.
• Child’s Pose: Kneel, sit back, and rest your forehead down for a gentle reset.

During Recovery Awareness Month, we’re reminded that resilience grows through support, connection, and compassion. These practices can support students and families on recovery journeys by creating space to pause, notice what we feel, and choose what we need next.

Project Yoga brings trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness to schools, shelters, and community centers across Greater Cincinnati, helping children feel grounded, supported, and ready to learn. 🧡

“I used my breathing today instead of getting angry.” - Project Yoga Cincinnati student 🧡

Sometimes the greatest transformations begin with something as simple as a breath.

We are deeply honored and grateful to Impact100Cincinnati for believing in Project Yoga’s mission and supporting trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness in our community. Thank you for sharing our story and bringing attention to the work we do to a larger audience.

Thanks to Impact 100 Cincinnati’s $10,000 Extend Your Impact Grant, Project Yoga expanded programming throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, bringing evidence-informed yoga, mindfulness, and breathing practices to children, teens, adults, schools, and community organizations.

Every class represents more than movement.

It is a child discovering a healthy way to manage big emotions.

A classroom becoming calmer and more connected.

An adult finding a moment of peace during a difficult season.

A community becoming healthier—one breath at a time.

To every member of Impact 100 Cincinnati, thank you for your vision, generosity, and leadership. Your collective philanthropy is creating lasting change throughout our region. 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏻

With gratitude, Project Yoga 🧡

As the year comes to a close, we pause to honor all the lessons, the growth, the challenges, and the moments that shaped us. ✨

Tonight, we release what no longer serves us, carry forward the wisdom we’ve gained, and open the door to a fresh new season.

Repeat this mantra with us:

“I release what has passed, carry forward what I’ve learned, and step into the new year ready to grow.”

Here’s to renewal, resilience, and the beautiful unfolding ahead--and of course, Happy, Happy New Year!🌙💛

Happy Holidays from Project Yoga! ❄️💛

Wishing our entire community a season filled with peace, rest and meaningful moments. Thank you for breathing, growing and showing up with us all year long!

May your days be calm, your hearts be full, and your season be sprinkled with joy.
✨

Grateful. Today and always. 💛

This season reminds us just how lucky we are to be surrounded by such an incredible community — the students who show up with open hearts, the partners who open their doors to us, and the supporters who believe in our mission every step of the way.

From classrooms to shelters, schools to studios, every connection reminds us that Project Yoga is more than a program… it’s people. It’s shared breath, shared space, shared growth.

We’re grateful for the ripple effect you've helped us create! 🙏

If you’ve been following along, you might’ve noticed we’ve been talking a lot about the nervous system lately — and that’s not by accident. The holiday season is full of joy, connection, and celebration… but it can also be fast, loud, and overwhelming.

When your nervous system is regulated and in homeostasis, everything feels more spacious. You’re more present at the table, more patient in the chaos, and more able to actually enjoy the moments you’ve been waiting for.

So consider this your gentle reminder: pause, take a breath, soften your body. Regulating your nervous system isn’t about doing less — it’s about feeling better. And a calmer system makes for a warmer, more meaningful holiday season. 💛
