CBET Inner City Immigrant Kids Yoga Program

The program works within the Los Angeles Unified School District/Los AngelesCommunity Adult School. It is part of the free childcare service provided by LAUSD for parents who are taking classes in the Dept. of Continuing Education. The program teaches yoga and yogic philosophy to immigrant children 3-12 years old. There currently are programs in six schools teaching 6 classes a week. Our goal is to provide even more health education through our team of doctors and to expand our program to 12 schools and 24-48 classes a month. The program seeks to create a dynamic approach for addressing the social and personal challenges confronting youth and at-risk youth in inner-city schools. The children also learn about health through physical exercise and nutritional education.
