EDUCATION
DEVELOPING THE HUMAN SKILLS YOUNG PEOPLE NEED FOR THE WORLD THEY’RE ENTERING.
As technology changes how young people learn, communicate and prepare for their future, the ability to navigate themselves and one another becomes increasingly important.
The Presence Method™ brings Body, Breath & Story into learning environments through practical, experiential practices that strengthen self-awareness, regulation, communication, discernment, creativity and connection.
Programs can support students, educators and learning communities across traditional, innovative and therapeutic environments.
Preparing young people for the future is about more than what they know.
It’s about who they become.

Grounded EXPERIENCE:
Alysa Osvog is a Certified Yoga Therapist, Breathwork and Writing Facilitator with more than a decade of experience working with young people across behavioral health, special education and juvenile detention.
Her work is grounded in the ability to build trust without losing authority. She meets young people without judgment and gives them practical tools they can choose to use in real life.
The Presence Method™ grew from this work: young people need more than information. They need opportunities to experience and practice what they are learning through Body, Breath and Story.
Her work complements the educators, clinicians and professionals already supporting young people, bringing practical, experiential tools into the learning environment.

INTEGRATE AI WITH HUMAN-CENTERED LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT
Help young people use AI without outsourcing their ability to think, create and connect.
AI is changing how young people learn, communicate and make sense of themselves and the world around them.
It can accelerate learning and open new possibilities- and makes discernment, critical thinking, self-trust, creativity and human connection more important than ever.
Through a customized engagement, we look at where AI can expand capability, and where human interaction needs to remain central.

Together, we help young people use technology intentionally while developing their own voice, thinking for themselves and staying connected to themselves and others.
ENGAGEMENTS MAY INCLUDE:
AI use + personal discernment
Critical thinking + independent thought
Creativity + authentic voice
Self-trust + emotional awareness

CUSTOM EDUCATION ENGAGEMENTS
Built around your students, educators + learning environment.
Every learning community has its own culture, philosophy, population and priorities. The Presence Method™ can be adapted to complement the work already happening within your environment.
Engagements may include student experiences, educator and staff workshops, Body, Breath & Story programming, leadership experiences, digital practice resources and customized programs exploring themes such as regulation, communication, creativity, human connection and navigating technology with greater discernment.
Rather than beginning with a predetermined solution, we begin by understanding your community and build the engagement from there.
