We are starting hatha and having the availability of mats is helpful, but being able have all students feel successful thanks to their ability to modify if needed is thanks to you. The straps and blocks are important ways for students to still understand the movements and me being able to meet them where they are in their yoga journey. \r\nMy students reaction to the new equipment was priceless! They were in disbelief that all that was donated to them. Our next steps in class are to go into flows by introducing vinyasa after they have a foundation of breath work and poses.","fullyFundedDate":1756387028019,"projectUrl":"project/yoga-for-everyone/9610333/","projectTitle":"Yoga for Everyone","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gese","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9890150_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755929939219","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9890150"},{"teacherId":9143958,"projectId":8710750,"letterContent":"On behalf of the Puyallup High School Sports Medicine Course staff and students, we want to express our sincere gratitude for your generous donation to our student snack fund.
