"What an amazing oppotunity to volunteer while having so much fun! The kids are amazing. They are so excited for the Yoga Breaks. They love the chance to move, to feel the control they have over their body and breath, and to be a little silly and have fun at the same time. Each 5 minute break has become precious to me. Thank you GreenTree for the chance to help my community with the power of Yoga" ~Sunnie Howard, GTY Volunteer

GreenTree Yoga’s PE provides Jackson Elementary students with an opportunity to focus on developing healthy bodies and minds. … Yoga has been a wonderful approach in promoting healthy lifestyles for all of our students. ~ Sandra V. Buendia, Principal, Jackson Elementary
“Our teachers say yoga breaks are great when transitioning to the next subject or whenever we need a fun break. And they help reduce anxiety and stress before a test or quiz. Yoga Breaks have helped us integrate more movement throughout our day and reach our goals for Gold Medal Schools and Wellness! ~ Heidi Kunzler, Principal, Uintah Elementary School
"Just wanted to let you know that the books and DVDs arrived and are in use. The kids love them! Our PE teachers are really impressed, and are going to introduce it into some of the classrooms." ~ Gayle Brackett, Princeville Elementary School, Illinois
We do "Yoga for You" programs in Spanish in the schools.
