As an individual pursuing a renewal of
mind, body and spirit, I cannot see a better pathway than through the
practice of yoga. Nanci Frank's guidance and instruction renewed my interest
in yoga to find a cleansing of the mind, toning of the body, and a gateway
to meditation. Her special expertise has assisted me in my search for
peace and fulfillment. As a school psychologist, I applaud her innovative
ideas of teaching yoga to children and the potential of it being a positive
intervention for learning anger management and self-control skills! It
will be very interesting to review the success of yoga in helping children
diagnosed with ADHD! Yoga at Even Start has given the children
a greater awareness of their body and how it moves. The class teaches
them listening skills and gross motor skills, both of which are essential
for school readiness. The relaxing effect of yoga also helps the children
to attend better in the classroom. "Yoga class is a blast!" Anna, age
