Welcome to Yoga Warrior Tales!

Hi! I’m Sheena Sood! I'm the founder and creative director of Yoga Warrior Tales! 

Yoga Warrior Tales is an online + in-person program that teaches children (ages 4-10) how to use yoga and mindfulness to take care of their minds, bodies, and spirits, and how to solve social issues in the world.

I believe yoga and mindfulness can be activated to bring humanity closer to interconnected freedom!
My approach to sharing yoga and mindfulness with children fuses some of the following principles together in each YWT episode: ​

  • Breath & mindful movement

  • Loving kindness meditations

  • Social justice education

  • Adventure-based & interactive storytelling

  • Animal- & nature-based wisdom

  • Creative, free expression

Testimonials

Hear from our happy parents and their children!

“Sheena has used yoga as a way to help Naya breathe, meditate, be aware of her surroundings; and to understand that yoga is for the heart, the mind, the spirit as well as the community and environment. I am so happy to continue working with Sheena and to see her grow out this project for many more precious young ones.” 

-Noura E.

“The biggest win has been seeing my daughter use child’s pose as a place of refuge when she is upset. It’s so settling as a parent to see your child access tools to take care of themselves. I know that she has a tool for life.”

-Shesheena Bray

I love my yoga class with Sheena Aunty. I like getting to solve a problem when we have our yoga adventures. Sheena Aunty is very kind, so I feel good when I am in the class too. I love being a yoga warrior.” 

-Satya

Learn about Sheena, the founder of Yoga Warrior Tales!

I am a Philly-based activist, educator, and healing justice visionary. I earned my doctoral degree in Sociology at Temple University. 

My yoga programs and workshops are designed to encourage all of us to envision how yoga can be purposed toward a liberatory spirituality that centers all of humanity, all living beings, and Mother Earth.  I work with adults to incorporate a framework of Decolonizing Yoga to their study and practice of yoga. Through my kids' yoga program, Yoga Warrior Tales, I teach children how to use mindful movement to activate more love, peace, and justice in the world. 

I am also a writer and educator. As a sociologist, I research topics of race and ethnicity, political solidarity, social movements and critical yoga studies. My current project looks at a phenomenon I refer to as the "weaponization of yoga;"  the weaponization of yoga refers to the tendencies of governments and leaders to use yoga to advance ethnonationalist & neoliberal agendas of militarized oppression.
