Youth Yoga is one of our 4-H programs which was offered at each elementary school during the summer school sessions.  The youth in grades Kindergarten to fifth grade participated in a weekly yoga class for four weeks.  Pre-program evaluations showed that 59% of the youth had never tried yoga as a form of exercise and 25% did not know how to use their breathing to help calm their feelings or to help them relax.  The youth learned deep breathing techniques and practiced the techniques upon entry in the class.  The teachers commented that the youth were calmer and more ready to focus on assigned tasks following the classes.  Post-program evaluations showed that 87% of the youth felt they could use their breath to help be more calm and relaxed.  83% would like to continue the yoga classes.  The teachers found value in the program and have requested that the program be presented during the next school year.
