YOGA  AND MINDFULNESS FOR
PRE-K CHILDREN IN HEAD START


Picture
This project has been proudly supported by a grant from Investors Foundation.
Learning to breath, to self-calm and to have a positive connection with our bodies begins when we are children.  While kids yoga is a luxury for many families, the science behind its benefits in childhood and into adulthood is clear.  Our teacher shares yoga and mindfulness with the 3 and 4 year olds receiving free pre-k education at the Head Start in East Northport.  All children are precious and are deserving of our attention and love!

OUR TEACHER

Caryn Carlat
"Yoga has helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life. I would love to pass along my knowledge to the youngest of our children so that they have tools to use when under stress or duress. The breathing and movement yoga provides can help us cope when things feel out of control. We could all use more skills to calm our minds and bodies, regardless of age or social and financial status. Young people are surrounded by noise and stress and challenges. Why not be able to take a moment without any toys or computers or t.v.s and just breathe."
