My students need yoga mats and yoga props to complete our classroom set. I am a registered yoga teacher, as well as a humanities teacher, and my students are desperate for stress relief.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My sixth grade students come from racially and economically diverse backgrounds. They are clever, creative, and ready to be academically challenged. They need someone who believes in their unlimited potential, someone who will teach, challenge and love them. Many of my students receive backpack food on the weekend, and our school also runs a food pantry for our families, 100% of my students receive free breakfast and lunch to aid in student participation and performance.
Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best.
They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day. They know students from their school have an excellent chance at attending college, and understand the sacrifices many of their parents have made for them to attend a magnet school with limited bus service. For many students, attendance at their school and hard work once they are here, is a ticket out of poverty for themselves and their families.
My Project
My students need yoga mats and yoga props to complete our classroom set. Currently they share or take turns with yoga mats, which is not a truly effective way for the entire class to be involved in a daily yoga class.
My students are strongly involved in highly stressful classes and activities, and are in great need of all of the stress relief they can find.
My yoga classes are extremely helpful to my students, and with these additional mats and props all of my students may participate.
Emotional health is greatly assisted by skills students can learn in yoga-focus, control, and mindfulness. These yoga mats and props will definitely help my students achieve better emotional health.
