In today’s world, where stress and anxiety affect millions of children across the United States, taking action is more important than ever.
At Yogi Squad, we understand that childhood can be just as challenging as adulthood, which is why we’re dedicated to making a meaningful impact both locally and beyond.
We don’t just teach yoga poses; we ignite a journey of mindfulness and emotional expression.
Our unique approach combines physical activity with literacy engagement, nurturing young minds in a holistic manner.
We firmly believe that equipping children with healthy coping mechanisms and enhancing body awareness is pivotal for their social, emotional, and overall well-being. Additionally, we incorporate breathing exercises to further support their mental and physical health, much like the principles of hatha yoga, which combines physical postures and breathing techniques.
Nearly 6 million children in the US grapple with stress and anxiety.
Left unaddressed, these challenges can cast shadows over mental health, relationships, and future opportunities. But that’s where you come in.
At Yogi Squad, we firmly believe that mindfulness and emotional expression are cornerstones of a joyful life.
By embracing yoga and fostering a sense of community, we’re sowing the seeds of positivity in the lives of children and their families, extending our impact beyond Dallas-Fort Worth.
We encourage children to practice mindfulness, helping them create awareness and manage their reactions effectively.
We invite you to join us on this transformative journey.
We’re not just teaching yoga. We’re cultivating resilient, empowered individuals who will confidently face life’s challenges.
Yogi Squad is driven by a vision to empower children of all backgrounds, genders, and ages. Through our interactive yoga storytimes, we provide a creative pathway to social, emotional, and physical growth.
Our mission is to equip every child with the tools they need to thrive and succeed, lighting the way to a brighter future.

Every dollar propels us closer to the finish line, positively transforming another child’s life.

Yogi Squad’s mission is to educate and equip all kids with the tools they need to navigate stress and live their best lives.
Our approach includes introducing Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) techniques to enhance self-awareness, emotional resilience, and physical fitness.
Scientific evidence supports the benefits of yoga and mindfulness in schools, highlighting improvements in students' mental health, behavior, and academic performance. Since 2021, North Texas Giving Day donors have been crucial in supporting our School Squad programming, allowing us to provide 223 free classes to over 16,000 students and staff in local schools.
Our classes focus on physical and mental strength-building exercises.
This year, we’re gearing up to expand our impact with The Mindful Mobile, which will visit even more schools and reach more students than ever before. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for our community’s children.
Businesses and organizations can sponsor yoga and mindfulness classes and events for their clients and customers, including practicing yoga in schools.
Yoga interventions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of students, enhancing their mental and physical health. Incorporating yoga postures can significantly improve physical fitness and mental well-being.
