Bent on Learning uplifts youth through yoga and mindfulness education in the classroom. To date, we have served over 22,000 kids in New York City schools, cultivating a sense of belonging in their own bodies, minds, classrooms and communities.
Our mission is to nurture the well-being of young people.

Yoga and mindfulness are proven to increase attention, self-esteem, compassion for self and others, and executive functioning, while decreasing factors that inhibit learning such as stress, anxiety, and depression. >>>

“Yoga has changed my life. Before I learned to practice breathing, I would be nervous before tests. Now I’m more relaxed and I am more flexible and peaceful. I will never forget this wonderful and interesting year of yoga.”
JACK, 5TH GRADE, CHILDREN’S WORKSHOP SCHOOL
“Yoga changed the way I concentrate. Yoga helps me breathe and stay calm during tests. And when I am doing a hard problem, I can relax. I don’t have to stress about anything anymore.”
HADLEY, GRADE 5, PS132
