20 Years of Yoga Ed.

Yoga Ed. is Born

Philanthropist and educator Tara Lynda Guber founds Yoga Ed. as a yoga program within the Accelerated School (TAS) in South Central Los Angeles.

TIME Magazine Feature

TIME Magazine names TAS the Elementary School of the Year, calling it one of the nation’s “most accomplished K-12 institutions.” In the article, Yoga Ed.’s program is highlighted as a valuable factor in maintaining the high level of academic achievement at TAS, prompting a nationwide response to bring more yoga programs into schools. Yoga Ed. plans to build capacity by creating a K12 curriculum to train educators in replicating its flagship program.
