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.
