The Last Day of School

I teach yoga at a local charter school on Jefferson Blvd., Celerity Nascent Charter School. The school is about 6 blocks from Sat Naam. I work with everyone in grades K-6. It's been really amazing to work with kids who's maybe only opportunity to learn yoga is at school with me:)
I decided to hand out awards the last week of school to 3 students in each class who showed exceptional excellence and respect in yoga class. This didn't mean that they were super flexible and could do every pose I showed them - it meant that they put effort in respecting themselves as well as their teacher (me) by trying, participating, and listening in class. The award was for 2 Free yoga classes at Sat Naam this summer. Here are two 1st graders that received the award, Branden and Laura. I'm hoping to see them at the studio this summer:)
