About
Inspired by the enormous success of the Take Breath DC campaign http://www.takeabreathdc.org, students from universities around the country are launching Take a Breath campaigns to beat stress and promote a violence-free stress-free community in their states.
Here’s a short introduction (featuring our VP Joe Biden)
The Yoga Empowerment Service Plus (YES+) program addresses the current issues of rising depression among college students including high levels of stress, suicide, and violence. Over the last 3 years, the YES+ workshop has reached thousands of students in top universities across the nation, including Stanford, Cornel, and Harvard, where students have reported more energy and enhanced ability to juggle demanding academic and extracurricular schedules.
Most recently, media in Washington DC, such as the National Public Radio, the Washington Post, the Washington Times and local TV channels featured the success of the Take a Breath campaign there. Nearly 200 young people participated in a YES+ workshop that culminated with the biggest ever group meditation for peace event in front of the White House.
Let’s join hands to create a violence-free stress-free Texas!
