Programs

TWI uses an evidence-based curriculum called Yoga Ed. that maps to and satisfies national physical education and health standards. Our programs integrate movement with breath to strengthen, align, and balance the body, focus the mind, and soothe the nervous system.

Our yoga classes are noncompetitive, allowing each student to develop his or her own skills and confidence. Progress is measured by greater self-efficacy, a more consistent respect for others, and increased concentration, flexibility, endurance, and balance. The classes are designed to address the whole child, and to benefit all children.

TWI currently offers three different programs for schools. Some of our school partners choose all three offerings, while others choose just one or two. We believe that the combination of all three programs offers the greatest opportunity to not only motivate individual students and change their behaviors, but to also change the culture of an entire school. Our three offerings include the following:
