For supporting adults, guardians, or youth organizations, it can be difficult to find the tools, resources, and social skills to address these issues in a way that resonates for the younger generation.
In this event, Centering Mental Health series host Richard Lui is joined by Alyssa Garza, scholarship winner with Active Minds—a premier organization impacting young adults and mental health—for an honest dialogue about what's going on with young people today. Hear more about what is needed to support kids and teens in their mental health struggles and where yoga can help.

CE Workshop | Self-Regulation, Part 3: Power of Surrender
Cristal Sharma & Pooja Sharma
Lean into the wisdom from The Bhagavad Gita to implement emotional, physical and cognitive self-regulation tools to improve your daily life, both as a teacher and student. Part 1 explored creating a healthy foundation of non-attachment; in Part 2, we had an engaging conversation about the Law of Action.
During the final session of this series, we tie together those lessons with the Power of Surrender. What does it mean to surrender, and how can it benefit you? We will explore how you can successfully apply these life skills in your daily life, during your yoga practice, and as a teacher.
In this workshop, you'll learn:
· The meaning of surrender and how to embrace the power in it
· How to introduce surrender successfully as a yoga teacher plus how to connect it with poses and meditation
