LFY works to support all children and teens in the development of strong inner resources. Our goal is to help kids, and the adults who care for them, thrive in the world regardless of circumstances, and navigate the many challenges they face with a sense of personal power and self-awareness.

We believe in helping children embrace their full potential and live their lives with joy, knowing that the world holds great wonders for them and that they have great gifts to share with the world. We want children to thrive in school and out, be engaged in their lives and ready to learn.

To that end, we share yoga and mindfulness based practices that give children full access to the resources of their body, breath and mindset, and do so within the context of compassionate, respectful relationships.

Programming is available for students, educators, parents and allied professionals. LFY programs and resources challenges students to learn in new ways, make connections internally and externally, and recognize their tremendous capacity to achieve.

Founded by
 Jennifer Cohen Harper in NYC in 2006, LFY was one of the early organizations offering comprehensive yoga and mindfulness services to schools, designed to be integrated into the classroom with the goals of improving learning readiness and supporting social and emotional skill building.

Through our
 School Yoga Project, based in New York, we serve children, teens, teachers and entire school communities with direct service programming and a variety of professional development opportunities.

Individuals and education institutions around the world can access our
 teacher certification program, online learning courses and resources such as card decks and workbooks.

LFY is dedicated to serving all people effectively and compassionately, while honoring their strengths and learning from our students every day. Our
 leadership team works hard to ensure our programming and content is trauma informed and culturally competent.

We welcome participants of every race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, age, or ability, and actively work to translate resources and increase accessibility as need arises.

LFY is proud to be MWBE (minority and women owned business) certified in New York State and New York City, and a NYC DOE vendor.

    This training was the best I have ever had, and I have been through plenty of teacher professional development workshops and trainings because I have been an an elementary school teacher for 20 years at the time I got certified. I can definitely speak to the fact that the presenters were very engaging, knowledgeable, and considerate. I attended the entire training in person. I learned so much about how the child's brain works, as well as how to promote mindfulness in my students while engaging them in a fun series of activities. I will say that for the children, the things I learned to do with them made yoga a mindfulness class discussed as a fun movement session. I feel grateful to have participated and I continue to engage in their additional workshops online from time to time. I was definitely prepared when I got a job teaching my own class to children in my community. Thank you Little Flower!!!!!!!
