Mission

Our mission is to support at-risk & incarcerated youth, their families & communities, by offering yoga, meditation and other awareness-based practices.

We are called Lineage Project because we believe that we all share the same Lineage: the lineage of the heart, and that wisdom teachings must continue to be passed down from one generation to the next.

Our Program

The Lineage Project teaches at-risk and incarcerated New York City teenagers awareness-based practices, such as yoga and meditation, to help consciously manage stress, increase self-awareness, and cultivate compassion and commitment to nonviolent engagement with their communities.

We conduct our program in collaboration with local community- based organizations, schools, and New York City and State detention facilities. Our current community partners include, The New York State Office of Children and Family Services, The New York City Department of Juvenile Justice and The Jewish Board of Children and Family Services.

Professional Training Opportunities

We are pleased to announce that we are now offering our training to the public. Our workshops are appropriate for anyone currently working with or interested in working with youth. Participants should have an established yoga and/or meditation practice and a desire to join a growing community of individuals who believe that all youth can know the great wisdom and compassion that exists within.
