Yoga Heals a Family's Spirit
"When I finish yoga I feel a clean,
strong spirit has been locked in my body." — Deanna
Twelve-year-old Deanna was having problems at school and not getting along with her mother, Lisa. Yoga changed their relationship for the better. Scholastic Woes "When I was doing bad in school, my one wish was to make my parents happy and to make me happy too. I didn't like myself." — Deanna A Broken Bond "We didn't know what to do. We had her tested for dyslexia, we though she may have ADD—that scared us. So I started giving her more attention, and she still rebelled. She didn't want to be close to me. That hurt." — Lisa "There was no relationship between us. She was her own person, and I was my own person." — Deanna Breathing Life into Learning "The school started a pilot program, Yoga for Life. As Deanna was enjoying it, she brought home a test paper with a "B" on it. To prepare for that test, she said she did breathing exercises and imagined herself in Yoga class." — Lisa "Sometimes when I'm in the middle of studying, I'll do some poses to get my mind going. I'll go back to studying, and I will get the questions right." — Deanna Loving Participation "We started doing Yoga as a family. It has strengthened my mind, my muscles and my spirit. The same has happened for Deanna. Yoga has brought us together — our bond is so much closer." — Lisa To learn more about The Accelerated School's Yoga for LifeTM program, please contact: The Accelerated School 116 E.
