“Yoga helps me take out all the stress and madness out of my body and makes me much happier and much calmness...I like yoga a lot and thank my yoga teacher. It's important to focus in yoga because you may trip and fall” - 5th grader, PS 95X in the Bronx

Researchers at Harvard Medical School: “A growing body of research has already shown that yoga can improve focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom behavior, and can even reduce anxiety and stress in children."
