The participants of the training were very engaged throughout the entire experience and were clearly motivated by what they learned as they were observed to implement their new tools immediately in their own classrooms. These trainings have really spring-boarded a change in the culture throughout our schools.

My colleagues, fellow teachers, and administrators have been amazed by Little Flower Yoga's services. Recently, a long-time mindfulness teacher and our curriculum director observed a session led by a staff member from Little Flower Yoga and they were incredibly pleased with the outcome. I am confident that the staff at Little Flower Yoga is capable of meeting the needs of students in order to help them learn tools to manage their stress, become more mindful, and learn self-care skills.

How can this program support schools outside of the NYC area? How does this work?
There are several ways we support schools outside of the NY area.
Options are available for 30-60 minutes for mat-based classes and as little as 20 minutes for desk-based classes. We require a minimum booking of two hours, and you can use that time for 2-6 groups. For longer days, we can work with up to 14 groups per day. Five minutes of transition time is needed between classes and a minimum 30-minute lunch break for site bookings of 4 or more hours.
For mat-based classes, we need one set of mats for the largest class that we will be serving. Mats can be shared between classes, and we recommend purchasing 5-10 extra mats in the event of damage. Our office can assist you in ordering high-quality, affordable mats for your schools at an additional price which can be built into your program fee. We also need a space that is large enough to spread our the mats for each student. Common choices for space include a gymnasium or dance studio, multipurpose room, and auditorium stage. For desk-based classes, we don’t need any additional equipment.
Student programs run in ten-week cycles, with start times in Sept/Oct, Jan and April. Assemblies and special events may be booked at any time subject to availability.
Yes. Our teachers are available for school day or after-school classes. We also offer a staff development program that will train your faculty to implement this program in an infusion style that incorporates yoga and mindfulness activities throughout the school day.
