Social Emotional Learning and Yoga Teacher Training
Funded Jul 14, 2022Thank you for helping fund my yoga certification program this past summer. I have established a student yoga club at the Urban Assembly for Green Careers and I incorporate yoga into every cool down that we do in class. I learned how to properly structure and implement a full length yoga class that benefits multiple levels of learners.
The best part of the Breathe for Change program was when I had the opportunity to work with educators across the country and build a yoga class together. We then team-taught a full length yoga class together. It was such a fun and eye opening experience.
I have incorporated a half sun salutation in the cool down that students do every day, and we do three collective breathes at the end of all of my classes. The most important thing that I learned was how to structure a yoga class for beginners so that my students wouldn't feel overwhelmed and give up.”

Funded May 23, 2022Thank you so much for help fund costumes for students at the Urban Assembly for Green Careers. Many of these students have never been on stage before and having the extra props and costumes made the experience that much more fun and exciting. The performers were so excited when they saw the sparkly top hats for the first time, and the red roses were the perfect addition in the bachata dance.
The school will save all of the costumes for future shows and events. The Dance/Talent Show was great success and the entire school loved watching and cheering on their peers. We hope to have many more shows like this in the future.
Thank you so much!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Pederson
