Breathe for Change

After almost a decade in New York City schools, I am looking to take my teaching to the next level through the Breathe for Change  organization. I am trying to raise money to cover expenses for this yoga certification course that is offered to public educators. I have been accepted into the program and am looking forward to bringing holistic care and well- being to an often marginalized community - my school in the North Bronx.  Yoga and mindfulness practices are not often available for people at low socio-economic levels, and I would like to change that. It is my goal to instill tools to promote self-esteem and provide engagement to my students, and my school's community,  in a socially responsive way. 

The tuition for the course is expensive! I have received a scholarship to help deter costs, but am still in need of additional funding. Following the completion of the program, I will have earned my initial yoga teacher certification. 

The funding provided will help add another tool toward the social emotional work in our school community. I anticipate that my students will be very appreciative of the opportunity to learn yoga and mindfulness practices that will help them navigate life choices and decisions that will guide their wonderful selves into adulthood.

I appreciate any small donation you could make to help make this change in our school! Thank you!
