Spirit of the Heart Youth Empowerment and Safety(Y.E.S!) Program
for Children Ages 4-12
Spirit of the Heart combines self-defense and communication
skills to give each child confidence and strength, both mentally
and physically. We aim to foster self esteem, self respect, and
creativity in each child. Every class offers a special blend of
focus and fun!
Spirit of the Heart believes that:
- Children deserve to feel safe.
- Children learn respect by being respected.
- Children can learn to resolve situations non-violently.
- By learning how to defend themselves physically, children gain
the confidence to choose spontaneous and creative responses to conflicts.
- Children are capable of defending themselves by using their minds
voices and bodies.
- Children are creative, fun, and capable and these qualities deserve
to be nurtured and supported.
