The bolsters, straps, and other yoga props you funded have helped transform an empty classroom into a peaceful, welcoming space where students can breathe, stretch, and find calm. When they first saw the new materials, their excitement and curiosity were priceless—each student immediately wanted to try a pose or snuggle into a bolster.\r\n\r\nThis program serves students who have experienced trauma, including the loss or incarceration of a parent and periods of homelessness. The new props make it possible for every student to participate comfortably and safely while learning tools for stress relief and emotional regulation. Your kindness is helping them discover strength, peace, and confidence within themselves. Thank you for making such a difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1752090893603,"projectUrl":"project/yoga-for-students-to-boost-confidence-an/9176737/","projectTitle":"Yoga for Students to Boost Confidence and Reduce Anxiety","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hasselle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3803873_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763918159305","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3803873"},{"teacherId":3803873,"projectId":8875709,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the geography materials for my classroom.
