YogaKids Bridge of Diamonds

 

Empowered learning for health and abundance

Every child is like a diamond; beautiful, bright, multi faceted, priceless.  Like a diamond each child is the most precious of gifts. They each have a diamond heart and a diamond mind, clear and sparkling with their unique magnificence.   

Unfortunately many children don’t have this appreciation of themselves. This is not the image they see when they look in the mirror.  All to many children don’t know what it is to feel good in their own body let alone feel good about themselves. They have a hard time learning, feel dis-empowered, disadvantaged and less worthy than others. Imagine the results of growing up with those beliefs.

When children understand their own precious qualities they are able to perceive the same qualities in others. Here in lies the magic of “The Bridge”.

The YogaKids Bridge of Diamonds Foundation believes that every child deserves the opportunity to recognize their own strengths and power.

Hundreds of Thousands of children have already benefited from the work that YogaKids has done over the past 17 years. We want to bring these advantages to children in need. For this we need your help.
