On October 12, 2023, FLY participated in the 2023 YES! Youth Empowerment Summit presented by the York County Public Library at Penn State York. FLY instructors Ashana and Maisha led 20 students from across York County through a 45-minute hatha yoga practice and guided breathing and meditation. The purpose of this session was to help teens realize the importance of deep breathing to relax and reduce stress. We also discussed the benefits of yoga, including enhanced balance, focus, and mobility.

This event received news coverage from WHTM 27, WGAL 8, and the York Dispatch. Check out the York Dispatch article here: Youth Empowerment Summit hosts more than 100 York County teens
