Our Mission

Our school-based program helps
children learn self-regulation techniques so they can better navigate social and academic challenges with resilience.

By building strength and increasing flexibility through movement, children feel better about themselves, are more eager to learn and gain a more positive self-image.
Scientific research shows that trauma and stress have a negative impact on developing brains and affect children's social relationships and the ability to excel academically.
Bambini Yoga Project offers custom tailored yoga and mindfulness programs to help children learn self-regulation techniques, emotional intelligence and have a more uplifting and positive academic experience.
Goals
“To enhance the academic experience for children by helping them build strong bodies and strong minds.
