The Art of Yoga Project is a non-profit organization that serves over 700 at-risk, incarcerated and exploited girls every year, serving over 6000 girls since its inception over a decade ago. Its core work is in detention facilities in San Mateo, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties. The Project goes directly into these facilities bringing a mindfulness-based curriculum combining yoga, meditation, creative arts and writing. Its mission is to empower young girls while teaching accountability and well-being. Its team includes specially trained, trauma-informed yoga teachers and art and writing educators. To keep girls connected after release, the Project has partnerships with middle schools and high schools that are primarily gang-impacted in their home counties. The Project also has programs for girls in substance abuse treatment facilities, level 14 facilities, and organizations working with sex-trafficked girls.
Please enjoy this conversation with Rocsana Enriquez, a former student and current teacher with the Project.

WellnessCast™ Conversation with Phil Stutz & Barry Michels, authors of The Tools & Coming Alive
"Deprivation is creation," says psychiatrist Phil Stutz. If we stay calm when confronted with strong feelings of wanting more chocolate cake, alcohol, social media, sex, or whatever is our craving, these feelings of deprivation actually become a flashlight to help us see inside ourselves. "When you use this tool over and over and over again, you begin to look forward to your impulses, not because you're going to gratify them but because you're going to be able to turn deprivation into something empowering," adds Barry Michels. Join Stanford Law Professor Joe Bankman for an intimate conversation with old friends and bestselling authors Phil Stutz and Barry Michels, who first gained national attention when they were described in a New Yorker profile as the go-to therapists for those on the creative side of the entertainment industry. In their bestselling book, The Tools, and now in Coming Alive, Phil and Barry bring to the rest of us the compelling techniques they use with their patients. These easy-to-use techniques transform everyday challenges—big and small—into opportunities to bring about bold and dramatic change. To help us experience their work, at the end of the podcast, Barry Michels guides us through the Black Sun Tool, which helps control strong impulses and cravings.
