NYM MEETS EVERY CHILD WHERE THEY ARE, BRINGING THEM LIFE SKILLS THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF YOGA, BREATHING AND CENTERING AT THEIR SCHOOLS AND IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. NEWARK YOGA MOVEMENT (NYM) PROVIDES YOGA CLASSES TO OVER 40 SCHOOLS IN NEWARK, NJ OVER THE LAST FIFTEEN YEARS. PRIOR TO COVID, THE ORGANIZATION RAN OVER 100 CLASSES PER WEEK IN A VARIETY OF SCHOOLS FROM PRE-K THROUGH 12TH GRADE. THIS PAST YEAR CONTINUED IN-PERSON CLASSES FOR STAFF AND STUDENTS. DOSAGE (FREQUENCY OF YOGA AND TIME PER CLASS) VARIES BASED ON SCHOOL NEEDS AND AGE OF CHILDREN. ALL LEVELS ARE CHILDREN RECEIVING YOGA FROM TIER ONE AND TIER TWO (HAVING MANY BEHAVIORAL NEEDS) TO CHILDREN HAVING SPECIAL NEEDS, ATHLETES AND MORE. OUTCOMES: OVER AND OVER STUDENTS REDUCE THEIR ANXIETY AND STRESS AND LEARN HOW TO HANDLE SITUATIONS DIFFERENTLY. NOTE THAT IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT, IT IS OFTEN TWO STEPS FORWARD AND ONE STEP BACK. FOR EXAMPLE, MANY CHILDREN LIVE ON A STAGE OF CHAOS, SINGLE HOUSEHOLD GUARDIAN OR PARENT IN JAIL, DRUGS, SHOOTINGS ETC. IT'S A LOT FOR THE CHILDREN SO IF ONE IS ANGRY, THE BEHAVIOR OFTEN SEEN AT HOME IS VIOLENT. IN SCHOOL WHEN THEY LEARN YOGA, THEY SEE THEY CAN SHIFT ANGER USING BREATH AND THAT TAKES TIME. OUR PROGRAM CONTINUES WITH A TOP NEWARK HIGH SCHOOL WHERE WE TEACH 1,200 STUDENTS, INCLUDING TEACHING YOGA FOR ATHLETES AND SELF-CARE FOR THE STAFF. STUDENTS CANNOT BELIEVE HOW YOGA HAS HELPED THEM REDUCE ANXIETY AND FIND CALM AND A BIT OF PAUSE, EVEN THE STUDENTS AT SCHOOLS WHERE BEHAVIOR IS CHALLENGING. AT THIS ONE HIGH SCHOOL, THE STUDENT COUNCIL ASKED THE PRINCIPAL IF THEY COULD OFFER OPT-IN YOGA WEEKLY AFTER SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS, WHICH WAS IMPLEMENTED QUITE SUCCESSFULLY. FURTHER WALKING THROUGH ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WHERE THERE WAS PREVIOUSLY POOR BEHAVIOR, HAS SHIFTED TO QUIET HALLWAYS AND GOOD STUDENT BEHAVIOR IN THE CLASSROOM. THE HEAD OF SCHOOL FOR ONE OF OUR PROGRAMS NOTED STUDENTS MENTIONED TO HER THEY ARE USING THESE TECHNIQUES BEFORE TESTING AND TO CALM DOWN. LINK COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL LEAD MARIA PARADISO SAID "STUDENTS IN PARTICULAR NEED THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO STOP AND FOCUS ON THEIR OWN WELL-BEING. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL SCHOOL LEADERS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BRING THESE TOOLS INTO YOUR SCHOOL."STAFF YOGA/STAFF DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS WITH SCHOOLS: EDUCATORS CONTINUE TO BE STRESSED OUT THAT THESE TWICE MONTHLY SESSIONS SERVED TO TAKE CARE OF THEM AND HELP THEM SELF-REGULATE, REDUCE STRESS AND ANXIETY, AND MOVE A BIT. FURTHER, TIPS WERE PROVIDED FOR THEM TO USE WITH THEIR STUDENTS WHILE TEACHING VIRTUALLY. ADDITIONALLY, WE DID PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS AT SEVERAL SCHOOLS INCLUDING ONE SCHOOL OUT OF OUR DISTRICT.COMMUNITY YOGA INCLUDES ALL THE FACEBOOK LIVE AND INSTAGRAM LIVE CLASSES: COMMUNITY YOGA REMAINS POPULAR AND FREE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS BOTH IN PERSON AND ONLINE THAT STARTED DURING COVID. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR ANY OF THESE CLASSES, ALTHOUGH WE SOFTLY ASKED FOR DONATIONS.
