Bent On Learning provides yoga classes to kids in grades pre-K through 12 in public schools and youth centers in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the South Bronx. Each class is forty minutes to an hour and a half with an average of 15 students per class. Because many New York City public schools do not have a gym, classes are often held in the classroom with the desks pushed aside. Teaching yoga in such an environment is always challenging and requires lots of patience, creativity, and a sense of humor. That being said, please know that teaching inner city children is mainly rewarding and fun and our teachers LOVE it!
