This is really fun! We get to come do yoga at school and make our own yoga books. I like to show my brother how to do it at home, because he doesn’t know how yet.
--Andrew, 8 years old

I really like making my yoga books because I get to look at them with my mom before I go to bed. Sometimes she does the yoga with me. I’m really good at the breathing too.
--Joe, 4 years old

I have seen the students trying new things, accelerating with postural support and balance. The entire module is like acting out a story that changes them for the better!

This is an excellent program to help stimulate the mind-body connection so crucial for proper child development and academic success. It is beneficial for ALL students, whether or not they qualify for therapeutic services. It works GREAT as a whole class activity!
