Yoga, mindful breathing and physical movement are very beneficial to teach and practice with our students. Activities such as yoga are great interventions to build regulation skills and release anxiety. Yoga mats would not only increase the quality of my sessions but will also help to keep us all socially distanced. This skill and activity are used in groups settings but can also be used individually as a coping strategy when needed. With your help we will be able to replace old well used mats that are now tattered and ripped.
