Yoga in Schools: Turning Research into Programs

One of the most often asked question for school-based yoga programs is "Does it really work?" The International Association for School Yoga and Mindfulness (IASYM) responds with a resounding "YES!" Our distinguished panel of quests will discuss some of the current research being conducted and how that research is translated into powerful school-based programs, bringing calm, focus and learning readiness into today's classrooms. Karma Carpenter, Director of IASYM, Lynda Meeder, Director of YogaKids, Anne Buckley-Reen, OT & founder of Get Ready to Learn, and Cheryl Crawford, founder of GoGrounded, join us to share their experiences in researching the effects of yoga and mindfulness in schools. Discover how yoga is impacting kids, teachers and administrators through innovative programs proven effective by University research.Support the show
