Headstand: Yoga Goes to School

Headstand is a non-profit organization developed in December 2007 dedicated to empowering schools by providing healthy strategies for students, teachers, and parents. We promote healthy awareness by integrating yoga tools, practice, and concepts into daily school routines. Headstand school programs provide yoga resources to students considered at-risk, with high stress levels, in K-12 schools. Headstand provides access to yoga in the place where these students spend most of their time: school. The Headstand curriculum is school-based and educator friendly. We encourage students to self-reflect and shift behaviors in order to attain personal balance and increase academic achievement.
