SKY at UF

Our goal is to preserve one of the most endangered species in today's world: Stress-free Youth! A stress-free mind is important for us to achieve our true potential! We believe one can achieve this by managing our mind through tools like Yoga, Breathing techniques & Meditation. Empowered with these tools, we have more time to do everything including volunteering and giving back to society. Our motto is “Yoga, Meditate & Volunteer”! SKY is a student group at the University of Florida; we organize many fun events through the year like introductory Meditation seminars, free yoga sessions, and our flagship workshop: SKY Happiness Retreat (previously YES!+). For SKY Happiness Retreat graduates, we have a weekly follow up on Monday evenings for you to join! SKY Happiness Retreat, geared specifically for college-aged young adults, allows you to experience the vast, untapped potential inside yourself. Through simple, practical, and effective techniques, SKY helps you to gain a greater vision of who you are and what you want from your life. You have the power to create a purposeful life, as well as the confidence to stretch and grow beyond limiting beliefs, lead a deeply joyful and fulfilling existence, and to find the leader inside of you! We are under the aegis of the International Association for Human Values and its sister organization, the Art of Living, a non-profit, educational, humanitarian organization. Present in 152 countries, it is one of the largest volunteer-based NGOs in the world. Founded in 1981, in just 38 years, it has touched the lives of over 370 million people through its educational and self-development programs and service initiatives. Live your potential!
