SKATEYOGI's Core Values

High Fives
We start and end our class with high fives to show each other’s respect and celebrate the moment we got to share – influenced by a zen concept known as Ichi-go Ichi-e: “Treasure every encounter, for it will never recur.”

Check Your Ego at the Door
We offer an ego-free zone for all our students regardless of their levels.

Have Fun! Be Creative!
We encourage our students to think up something fun and defy convention. There are no rules. It’s all skateboarding!

Keep Pushing
As Master Yoda says, "The greatest teacher, failure is." Everyday we fall, get back up and continue learning. Skateboarding is a great lesson in resilience and perseverance.

Namaskate
Namaste is a phrase/gesture of pure compassion and recognition: that we bow to the true self inside each one of us. SKATEYOGI encourages skateboarders to be respectful and thankful to each other and the surrounding community.
