They will learn to listen their bodies, and respond to their needs so they can play hard!
Drinking water, choosing healthy foods and getting enough sleep will no longer be a chore, but informed choices that will feel great.

Engage one part a week, or one part a month - you choose your pace. Empowering youth to connect with inner self, purpose, and the natural world around us.
Inspire Curiosity
Better choices are born of better understanding.
If we teach our children how their body works, what harms and what helps, they naturally make better choices. Kids want to feel good too!
When we connect them to their own sense of purpose, their why, we watch them become motivated from the inside.
Its a gift for your child, and for you!!
.
Empower your child,
gift yourself peace of mind.
Imagine this...
Your child chooses to drink water because they know it helps them keep their insides clean and energized.
Your child learns how to balance screen time with rest, so they can keep their brain clean and their thinking clear.
Your child makes better food choices, because they want to have the fuel to play hard, and avoid injuries that sideline them.
Your child understands their body is their vehicle,
their mind is the steering wheel and health is their super power.
Inspire curiosity, cultivate power.

Your Brain
Children love discovering that our brain cleans itself when we sleep. Sure explains how crazy we can get when we are sleep deprived.
Not sure about you, but our children sleep tortured us as new moms, and learning about the glymphatic system and how it clears the waste from our brain made so much sense.

Love is Everywhere
Love is a feeling, and when we connect to images and actions in nature and people we can begin to characterize what love looks and feels like.
Understanding the different kinds of love empowers children to be conscious about engaging it, and also to identify relationships that are not healthy.
As our children grow and mature, giving them a solid foundation in healthy relationships is something we all want!
Best unboxing ever.
A little about us.
Kristine Divall, MEd,
Yoga Teacher Trainer
I am an educator, yoga teacher, consultant and coach living on the unceded territories of the Secwépemc and Ktunaxa peoples, Golden BC.
I hold a Masters in Education, and during my career have worked both as a teacher and alongside schools through the non-profit sector.
In 2008 I co-founded Vinyasa Yoga for Youth, a non profit that integrates the practices of Yoga and Mindfulness into schools. I lead multiple yoga teacher training each year that bring yoga to communities furthest from opportunity.
It is my belief that true personal wellness comes from approaching health holistically and incorporating a variety of tools for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
I spend a lot of time in nature, breathing in the beauty of the natural world, and when possible I love to do these things in community and with children.
Julie Brown, BSc Kin,
Osteopathic Practitioner
When I was 18 I realized something I am profoundly grateful for. I realized the only thing that is really mine, is me.
My body, mind and spirit.
I studied physics, physiology and psychology. I poured myself into anatomy. I researched behaviour, learning and trauma. I carry big questions and small questions, and a curiosity that drives me.
I have worked in brain injury rehab, with elite athletes, the very young, the very old and the very sick – in hospitals, homes and my private osteopathic practice.
I live with the principles of Osteopathy, and the laws of nature. They weave together and help me make sense of the world.
Telling the story of the body, how it works and how it heals from injury and infection is a feature project in my life's work.
Inspiring people to discover their inner health, and to transform is my 'why'.
The WHY Academy is about telling this story to our youth, to help them build a lifetime of whole health.
STUDENT SUCCESS STORIES
This is a movement for our youth.
