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 Project
Please consider funding for our students to have materials to engage in yoga practice at school. Studies have found that yoga helps those with a trauma history, anxiety, and depression. Yoga practice can help reduce intrusive thoughts and support a calmer nervous system.
Yoga's emphasis on breathing practice and meditation brings mental benefits, such as reduced anxiety and depression AND it actually makes your brain work more efficiently which supports learning!
Harvard Health reports that "when you do yoga, your brain cells develop new connections, and changes occur in brain structure as well as function, resulting in improved cognitive skills, such as learning and memory. Yoga strengthens parts of the brain that play a key role in memory, attention, awareness, thought, and language".
Help our students learn the valuable skills that yoga instruction provides during their small group instructional time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
