Happy Fall!
The work we do at iBme is magic. We get to see teens turn into their most natural and beautiful colors right in front of our eyes. The recipe? Mindfulness practices and principles and a welcoming, loving, and respectful community.
The world needs the work we do. Teens need the work we do. The statistics included in this email come from the Yoga Digest article featured below. This is why we do the work we do: because real kids face real challenges. And mindfulness can help.
Registration is open for our New Year's Teen Retreats in Massachusetts and Virginia, it's an amazing way to ring in 2020!
