September is Yoga Month! And the organizers over at Yoga Health Foundation would like to encourage you to promote mind body fitness education in schools. For a $30 donation you will receive a Yoga Fitness DVD for kids as well as have one sent to the teacher of your choice. You can choose from one of three DVDs – Preschool, Elementary, Youth. So surprise your favourite teacher with a back to school gift that will keep on giving throughout the school year.
To do my part I’m teaching 3 free kids yoga classes to the St Albert Public Library Sept 11th & 12th. Moms & Tots is for preschoolers and their Mom and we’re off to visit the Pet Store. Kids in Grades 1-2 will hit the high seas with a Pirate themed story. And if you are in Grades 3-6 we’re heading to the Amazon for an amazing eco-tour adventure. Contact the SAPL Children’s Services Desk to register.
If you want more information on how to get involved or create your own event follow this yogamonth link. Thanks to YogaDork for keeping up all up to date on news and events in the yoga community.

Thanks to Yoga In My School and ChildLight Yoga for offering free yoga classes to your communities! You guys make it easy for families to learn healthy habits while having a ton of fun! I am looking forward to Peace Day in Exeter NH and can’t wait to see what else Yoga Month brings to my area.
If either of you would share your thoughts on the day, how were the demo classes received by new participants, and how each celebration brings out your love for yoga and children, I’m sure my readers at http://thepranamama.com would love to hear. Contact me at http://thepranamama.com/?page_id=312.

Greetings,
I am trying to find a grant to bring yoga to girls ages 11 to 18 in public schools. does anyone know of a grant that is designed for young woman or obesity in teenage girls, or for yoga for teens?
please help!
thank,
Kathy Ran
As always, begin where you are…
Kathy, Sorry I have no idea where to go for such a grant. It would be amazing to find one. Teachers and school administrators may be a good place to ask as they are always trying to squeeze every $ out of gov’t to fund programs. Or ask a kids fitness non profit organization in your area. They usually have their ear to the ground on any grant money that’s waiting to be snatched up. Good luck and keep us updated on your success.
