SMILING CALM HEARTS OPEN OUR LEARNING

Smiling Calm Hearts Open Our Learning, Inc. (SCHOOL, Inc.) is a non-profit organization that helps children and teens develop social and emotional competence for peaceful learning in public schools. Founded by Kelly Wood, the SCHOOL Yoga & Mindfulness Program helps teachers create focused, harmonious classrooms through adapted yoga mindfulness tools. Our approach differs from typical yoga practices because it centers on Calm Breathing Calm Hearts, the signature method that opens viewpoints to care for ourselves and others—conditioning perspectives based on common ground. The SCHOOL Yoga & Mindfulness simple seated and standing poses and meditations build well-being in educators and youths equally. 

Since 2002, SCHOOL, Inc. has pioneered the integration of yoga mindfulness methods in Title 1 schools, providing underserved youth with tools to positively self-direct in academics and life. Over 1,000 public school teachers have trained with us in Los Angeles Unified School District, Pasadena Unified School District, New York City Department of Education, and other school districts across the country. Our program has served over 28,000 youth in the past seven years. Our curriculum meets Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts as well as Health and Physical Education State Standards.
