Our evidence-based curriculum is the foundation of all of our programs. The curriculum meets National P.E. and Health Standards while also being uniquely designed to address core needs of educators and their students. Discover the curriculum at the heart of our programs.
At the foundation of Yoga Ed. is our “Why,” the fundamental values that drive our mission forward, shape our beliefs, and are at the heart of all the work we do. So what do we believe?
- We believe that education should serve students and educators.
- We believe that students learn best through practice, reflection, and application, and that when students feel connected to school, they’re more likely to bring what they learn home, and beyond.
- We believe that teaching should be a dialogue between teachers and students, where respect, creativity, and compassion abound.
- We believe in teaching to the whole student, meeting their physical, social, emotional, mental, and cognitive needs, all according to their development.
That’s where our curriculum comes in. Our evidence-based curriculum is the foundation of all of our programs. The curriculum meets National P.E. and Health Standards while also being uniquely designed to address core needs of educators and their students. Whether you teach to children (Ages 3-12 / Grades Pre-K – 5) or adolescents (Ages 13-18 / Grades 6 – 12), the comprehensive, 350-page curricula will prepare you from the inside-out, diving deep into the philosophy and practice of further cultivating your own personal development before expanding to the development of your students and to teaching methodologies.
