Village Yoga's Philanthropy
Autism Speaks is a non-profit charity dedicated to raising money to fund research into autism and other autism spectrum disorders (also known as pervasive developmental disorders), including Asperger's syndrome, to find its causes, isolate potential treatments and cures, and work out methods to prevent it.
Village Yoga is honored to be supporting Autism Speaks as our studio philanthropy. In conjunction with our focus on the community and the school systems, Autism Speaks is a natural extension of our young person focus.

Village Yoga at Potomac Elementary - January - March 2012
Potomac Elementary School has a tradition of 90 years of excellence in education. From serving students in a rural community in the early 1900’s to developing programs to meet the needs of students in our thriving suburban setting today, the Potomac Elementary staff remains on the cutting edge of instructional strategies. One of our programs, Chinese immersion, has received national media attention. Our school colors are green and white; our mascot is the mustang.
Village Yoga will begin our Winter 2012 session at Potomac Elementary on January 5th and continuing every Thursday, 3:45-4:45pm. This afterschool program is a great way for kids K-5 to get a feel for what yoga can do for them in their school work and daily lives.

Village Yoga at Cabin John Middle School - February - May 2012
Cabin John’s mission is to educate all students in a supportive, challenging, and disciplined environment so that they become lifelong learners and a credit to themselves and society.
Village Yoga has had the opportunity to work with children during the first semester of 2011 in anticipation of starting an onsite after-school program in early 2012. Some of the students' feedback from our introductory visits:
Yoga helps me…
…‘with concentration’
.…‘focus better in class’
.…‘concentrate in school and be more relaxed and calm in general’
…‘become more flexible’
…‘my posture’
…‘focus longer in class’
…‘strengthen my muscles’
…‘ keep my heart healthy’
…‘ learn how to remain focused for longer periods of time...like when I have to study for a quiz or test’
…‘be in a better mood’
