The Wellness Initiative

The Wellness Initiative (TWI)was founded in 2006 to provide yoga to students in Colorado and address the growing concern that students of all ages suffer from increasingly stressful and unhealthy lives. Because many of the students in our programs lack the opportunities and tools to relax, reflect, strengthen, and focus, their self confidence, physical health, and academic performance suffer. During the 2012-2013 school year, we are combating these issues by serving almost 2,500 students in 37 schools in 6 counties.The mission of The Wellness Initiative is to improve the physical health, social and emotional development, and academic performance of low-income youth through yoga-based wellness programs.
