If we are to reach real peace in this world, we shall have to begin with the children.
~ Gandhi ~

"Yoga practice is an effective means of teaching children how to 'strengthen and nourish the integrity of their central nervous systems'.  It is also helpful in fostering some of the habits of mind that help students develop as 'optimal learners'.  Yoga Ed. is, in my opinion, simply the best, and most extensive, thoughtfully infused Yoga curriculum that exists in education today."
Gessner Geyer, MA., Ed.M., Harvard University

Yoga Ed.™ is an organization that develops and produces health/wellness programs for the school environment that improve academic achievement, physical fitness, emotional intelligence and stress management.  The belief is that cultivation of a positive state of physical, mental and emotional health is directly correlated with academic success and fulfillment in life.  When students and teachers regularly address the conditions of their mind-body states and know how to implement specific tools to support their health and well being, the result is a more peaceful and productive school environment.
