YoMIND helps everyone
connect with their bodies and harness their minds
so they can rise above the stress of their lives and thrive.

YoMIND emphasizes the practice of mindful movement and focused breathing practices
at short intervals throughout the day to strengthen the ability to direct focus, manage stress and regulate emotions.  

YoMIND encourages everyone to embrace “kindness as a superpower”.   We scientifically show how being kind
can help optimize brain function.  We teach compassion for self and for others, both on and off the yoga mat. 

YoMIND classes emphasize that each of us has the ability to train our own minds, consciously direct our focus, and shift our perceptions
so that we can interact with and respond to the world in a favorable way---one that is in alignment with our own personal values.

YoMIND seeks to add value to communities through teaching on site yoga, mindfulness and neuroscience classes in schools, to athletic teams and to our community's first responders.  Additionally, YoMIND’s resource portal provides free, easy to use audio and video resources.

NEW!!! Intro to YoMIND class with Libby

This 60 minute introduction to YoMIND class was filmed with the Southern Oregon University Football team in June 2022. It is suitable for all levels and provides an overview of Libby’s teaching style and her ability to integrate the science into the yoga and mindfulness practice. The informal edit also provides insight to Libby’s ability to connect with her students and make the practice accessible to all. For more information about YoMIND offerings and to have Libby work with your group, contact her HERE.

'YoMIND is KiND agreement

The 'YoMIND is KIND' Agreement is an agreement we are asking students, parents and teachers to make.  This agreement recognizes that kindness is our natural state of mind and that we can support each other and our mental health through encouraging the practice of yoga and mindfulness.  Kindness to self and others is much needed in schools, homes and communities. 

'YoMIND is KIND' Playshops!

'YoMIND is KIND' Playshops!   In these workshops, geared for grades K-5, students are introduced to yoga, mindfulness and neuroscience in a playful and engaging way by YoMIND Instructors and high school and college students and will resume in fall of 2021. The take away from the experience is that each of our minds is kind and that  "KINDNESS IS A SUPERPOWER".   Doing YOGA and practicing mindfulness is a way to access that superpower!   For more information about the 'YoMIND is KIND' Playshops and our Community Development model, contact us HERE

JUstme Videos!

We are happy to share our video collaboration with JusTme,  hip hop artist & mindfulness/yoga instructor.  

Last summer the YoMIND team headed to the Las Vegas desert to film a music video for JusTme's new single, "I'm Inspired".  

We also filmed a series of 7 short mindfulness exercises for all ages that can be used in the classroom or at home.   

And the best news is...these videos are FREE for everyone!  We encourage you to share the videos on social media and use them whenever you need a moment to relax yo'mind.  If you are a teacher or school administrator, please consider using them in the classroom to give you and your students a short 'brain break' during the day (research here on why this works!).
