Our Story
Awareness Academy is committed to enhancing the well-being of teachers, students, and communities through mindfulness and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in school curriculums. Founded in 2016 by Christian Devine, initially known for successful Yoga Teacher Trainings, the academy evolved to focus on guiding youth through SEL techniques.
In 2018, a pivotal moment occurred when an educator, after completing the Yoga Teacher Training, proposed introducing SEL classes. This marked the beginning of Awareness Academy's transformative journey, expanding its influence to multiple school districts in the Sacramento area.The academy's impact extends beyond student sessions, with Staff Trainings fostering a holistic well-being approach within educational communities.
