Success with Funds

This is a yoga program that teaches kids and teachers how to use yoga as in-class break. The program comes with cards that teach the children different yoga poses as well as techniques for relaxing and stress relief. The program has been a great way for our teachers to allow individual kids to take 3 - 5 minute movement breaks in the classroom without disturbing class instruction.

How did you accomplish your goals?

We had in-service with teachers that taught them how to use the program in the classroom and went through several of the yoga poses. We had a great time learning the different techniques. The YoPlay for Kids instructors come out twice a month to teach our kinder and first grade students about self awareness and mindful breathing.
