“The student’s sense of purpose resulting from the Conscious Classroom™ yoga-in-schools curriculum will be reflected in both emotional and academic outcomes; overall grades, test scores and performance will be enhanced, granting them a broader range of options both intellectually and emotionally in later life. Eager and enthusiastic to witness this work emerging for generations to come.”

“Conscious Classroom™ is a research-supported and beautifully designed offering that distills complex subjects into accessible modules and activities for today’s youth. From yoga asana to pranayama to mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques, this program touches on it all in meaningful ways, giving the learner easy ‘active learning techniques’ in order to incorporate the material into their daily lives. I so wish that I had been exposed to this information earlier in my own life!”

“The creation of Conscious Classroom™ is a project of passion and professionalism. This welcoming curriculum has been meticulously designed with the intention of engaging our youth in self-care and personal empowerment. Touching upon the full spectrum of wellbeing, the skills offered go beyond the physical form of yoga instilling the power of breath to balance the energy of emotions while quieting the mind with meditation. The roots of yoga are also addressed in a concise view of history and philosophy illuminating the value of this ancient wisdom for modern day living.”
