What TWI students are saying

We asked 3rd -5th grade students at Colfax Elementary School in Denver what yoga is. Below are a few of their answers.

Yoga is:

• to calm you down. And if you have stress on your mind it will clear your head.
• something that makes you healthy and strong.
• a place where you relax.
• when you calm your madness and get exercise.
• about getting happy.
• something that helps your body have more energy.
• a way to express yourself.
• concentration and being focused.
• something you can do to feel peaceful.
• to concentrate in your imagination.
• like exercise but different. Yoga makes you healthy.
