Our
after school program is hosted at the Druid Hill
YMCA. We meet Monday through Thursday from 3:30pm
to 6:30pm and serve male students ages 12 to 17.
In our after school program we teach students
yoga, which incorporates sports fundamental training.
provide tutoring, homework assistance, a healthy
snack, and administer environmental advocacy programs.
During
school many of our students have to deal with
distractions from peers, confrontations with teachers,
sugar-filled snacks, and for the most part, a
true lack of physical activity. Yoga offers a
venue to address these problems. The breathing
techniques (pranayama), yoga postures (asanas)
and meditation Holistic Life teaches students,
each have a different positive affect.
The
tutoring and homework assistance helps students
perform better academically. We provide healthy
snacks including fresh fruit to promote healthy
eating habits. Our environmental advocacy work
helps close the disconnect inner-city students
have with the environment, both on a local and
global scale. |
