With soaring mental health rates, it is surely time for a new vision for our children. Every year, more young people are thought to experience some sort of mental health problem. Indeed, the majority of adults that have mental health problems, first experienced symptoms in late adolescence. Yoga therapy can be one of the most effective and powerful modalities for healing. This can be illustrated in the case of Kasha, a 14-year-old girl living in an inner-city home with her younger sister (aged 9) and her mother.
Kasha was uncertain about the whereabouts of her father and her mother worked nights, often leaving Kasha responsible for her sibling and herself.
