At YOGAZEIT, we believe that the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of Mindfulness and Movement should be accessible to all school communities across Australia, regardless of financial circumstances, race, gender, age, physical abilities, challenges and talents.

What We Do
Our VISION is to provide access to Yoga and Mindfulness to people and high-risk groups in need with a focus on:
Australian School Communities
Empowering students and educators with the resources and activities they can use to reduce their stress and anxiety to best support their resilience, and physical and mental fitness leads to a happier and healthier future.
Indigenous Communities
We consult and collaborate with Indigenous Elders, Aboriginal Education staff, mental health experts, schools and Traditional Language Groups in remote communities to develop culturally-relevant mindful movement resources and activities.
