My Project
I work at an inner-city school, where the majority of students struggle with self-regulation, focus, and attention. These challenges hinder their ability to learn effectively, and often, even kindergarten students are mistakenly identified for special education services due to their self-regulation deficits. As teachers and therapists, if we could implement a strong meditation and yoga program starting from the early years, it could provide hope that the students will develop improved skills for managing focus and attention thus leading to improved school performance. The use of a yoga mat will provide the students with their own space and safety during the practice.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
