“Lan Lan Yoga is a true contribution towards uplifting humanity. Its innovative curriculum harnesses the benefits of yoga, guiding children’s growth in becoming outstanding contributors to their communities.
Social-emotional learning holds great importance in propelling humanity forward, teaching kids at an early age about managing their emotions through success and failure.
Our foundation celebrates the arts and education. We salute the practice of yoga, especially with children, and commend Lan Lan Yoga for its important role in making a difference.”
“Lan Lan Yoga’s tailored curriculum helps kids integrate their mind and their bodies. By teaching kids breathing skills, simple meditation, and body postures, they’re able to develop important self-regulation skills that will promote physical and emotional health throughout their lives.”
Alexandra Mager, LMSW, Mindful BK Coordinator
Emil Vasilev, Total Brain (Director of Finance and Operations)
“Brain Resource’s Neuroscientific Consensus identifies 4 core capacities of the brain: Emotion, Feeling, Cognition, and Self Control. Lan Lan Yoga’s curriculum could enhance these elements for children to maximize their capabilities, expanding children to face more challenges and prepares kids to overcome obstacles”
“A lot of children in this program... get angry so fast... a lot of parents don’t know how to control it or are unable to control it, so this is why I recommend these kids to the program. We had a breakthrough with one of the students.”
Charles Witherspoon, Henry Street Settlement (After-school Service Director)
