Mission Statement
Our mission is to teach yoga, meditation, and other awareness- based practices that empower youth to find alternatives to stress, violence and incarceration.
Core Values
We believe that all persons, regardless of past circumstances and actions are of value.
Our pedagogy is one of inclusion and co-facilitation where all voices are appreciated and respected.
We believe that exposing young people to awareness-based practices sets the stage for positive patterns of learning throughout their lives.
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.
