In this motivational book, The Holistic Life Foundation founders Ali Smith, Atman Smith, and Andres Gonzalez share their inspiring experiences teaching yoga, meditation, and breathwork to thousands of at-risk children in Baltimore public schools over the past 20 years. This work has helped these children build up their reserves of patience, empathy, resolve, and?when necessary?the righteous anger that drives significant structural change. Due to their impressive outcomes, which include dropping suspension rates and skyrocketing graduation rates in the schools that have taken part in their programmes, their work has attracted significant national attention. When they were little children, Ali and Atman learned the strength of mindfulness techniques to help them get through the difficulties of growing up in a Baltimore neighbourhood that was plagued by poverty and violence. The Holistic Life Foundation?s mission is to empower kids to find this same stillness and light within themselves and to let it shine out to help change the world. In this book, Ali, Atman and Andres share hands-on mindfulness and meditation tools readers can teach kids that will empower them to do this same work in their own communities. Let Your Light Shine is essential reading for parents, educators, activists, and anyone looking to make a difference in the lives of young people.
