When most people think of moonshots, they think of flying cars, biohacking chip implants, or these days, tourist space travel and vacations on...the moon. So no, Yoga Ed. is not a moonshot, but what we’re really interested in is giving the people of the earth a shot.

We live in a society that prizes and rewards innovation and success, but doesn’t give people the tools to get there (or if we do, it’s only for the select few). This is the problem that Yoga Ed. is here to solve. Our mission is to give kids the tools they need to not only survive, but thrive through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

So how do breathing exercises turn into moonshots? There’s a kid who gets really frustrated and angry if she doesn’t get something right away. One day her teacher turns on a Yoga Ed. video in class while she’s losing it after getting an answer wrong on a math test. She learns Balloon Breath and notices that the feelings are subsiding and her thoughts are getting clearer.

She starts instinctively breathing deeply every time she gets upset. As a result, she’s able to stay focused and actually learn more, rather than getting frustrated as soon as things get difficult. She develops the ability to stay present and persevere, which helps her graduate from high school and eventually university with an engineering degree. One day she has a crazy moonshot idea, takes a deep breath, and goes for it.

And that is one of the many reasons we do what we do. To support kids in accessing their true potential. So that the world can benefit. Investing in Yoga Ed. isn’t a moonshot - it’s like investing in pencils when schools were using chalk and slate. Everyone eventually realized that pencils were where it’s at. Get in on the ground floor and rise with us.
