My guest on this episode of Yogaland is therapist and yoga teacher, James Woods. About 10 years ago, in his work a therapist in the juvenile justice system, foster care system, and mental health system, James felt like he was not able to make an impact the way he'd hoped.⁠

⁠

When he discovered yoga, he felt like he found himself and his purpose -- and he decided to bring it to the kids and teachers in his community.⁠

⁠

On this episode, we talk about how yoga was the perfect adjunct to James' training as a therapist, the importance of teaching kids self-regulation, and how essential it is to feel a sense of belonging.⁠

⁠

James also shares a very wise(and crucial!) approach to take if you'd like to teach yoga in schools. ⁠
