Young students at Heartland Elementary have found that there is no better way to start their school day than with a before-school yoga session. On Wednesdays, students meet in the gym before school starts to stretch and center themselves through yoga in a soothing environment.
School counselor Jenilee Sorenson realized that some students felt more dysregulated in the middle of the school week and needed extra support for their emotional well-being. With the support of Heatland Principal Buddy Alger, she began bringing students together before school to learn yoga in a soothing environment as a way to regulate the kids and give them space to focus their bodies and minds.
Namaste Hearland!
