Discover how Preston Slaughter empowers youth with essential self-care, mindfulness, and compassion skills through her organization, LOCAL RVA. Explore the authentic connections forged among youth, centered on critical themes such as stress management, trust building, and self-acceptance.

Preston's journey began when she returned to the United States after two years of teaching English in Thailand and traveling across Asia. Struggling with mental health challenges, she found solace in yoga, meditation, and nature, ultimately restoring balance to her nervous system and rediscovering her joy. Today, she has transformed her passion into a career, educating young minds about the same practices that have consistently brought her healing and happiness.

In this podcast, Preston reveals how she integrates yogic philosophy into outreach programs and offers valuable insights on tapping into the koshas – the layers of the physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and joy bodies-- and cultivating inner toolkits.
