Newark Yoga Movement

At Newark Yoga Movement, we are dedicated to providing important social and emotional learning (SEL) skills to children through the practice of conscious breathing and yoga. Our mission is to enhance the educational experience and provide easy access to increased peacefulness, focus, and confidence as a complementary source of discipline and structure for all.

Our Story

Newark Yoga Movement was founded in 2009 by Debby Kaminsky, who was inspired to make a positive impact on the educational system in Newark, New Jersey. After reading about low graduation rates in Newark, Debby knew she had to do something to help. With over 12 years of experience in the marketing and advertising industry, Debby brought her skills to the non-profit world, dedicating herself to sharing the benefits of yoga and conscious breathing with children and educators.
