The Yoga Room Studio

Om4Youth is a national non-profit organization dedicated to offering at-risk, marginalized and street-involved youth an opportunity to find HOPE, EMPOWERMENT and SUCCESS to create better life choices and life long wellness for themselves.

Om4Youth was founded in 2008 by Wendy Webster, a child and youth counsellor and hatha yoga teacher. For over 20 years Wendy has worked with at-risk youth in social service agencies and in private and public school communities throughout Ontario. Wendy developed Om4Youth, a yoga and creative arts curriculum as a way to reach out youth in crisis to give them a opportunity to create success in their lives.

Mission Statement:

Om4Youth offers all youth an opportunity to create success in their own lives. Through the teaching of yoga and creative arts we provide youth with the tools necessary to be open for change, to ask questions, and to find their own answers. So they can make better life choices and move forward in a positive new direction for life long wellness.

Om4Youth provides youth:

• an opportunity to reduce stress
• the ability to focus and enhance mental clarity
• the tools to think before acting in haste
• an opportunity to build strength and increase flexibility
• the ability to discover their whole person: mind, body and spirit

Sharing yoga with youth helps them:

• get in touch with themselves and learn to trust their instincts
• acknowledge and nuture their special gifts and strengths
• open up to change, ask questions and find their own answers
• it provides them with an opportunity for success
• know that the quiet, still place is there for them, through the changes, challenges and confusion of growing up
