Yoga for Flexible Futures

Our club targets low socioeconomic students in an after school program to participate in yoga and healthy nutrition sessions. The first part of the after school programming would entail a group of around 20 students in 2nd-5th grade participating in yoga tailored for children, whose behavior in class will be tracked by their every day teachers. The second half of the program will be teaching the students different nutrition topics every week. Topics will vary from eating fruits and vegetables, to what eat at fast food restaurants like McDonalds, and what are empty calories. The nutritional lessons will improve the knowledge base and in turn hopefully improve the eating behaviors of low socioeconomic status students. We meet from 2:00 to 5:00 every Monday at the UCLA Community School as well as Tuesday evenings from 6-7pm.
