I love to hear this!
I would love for them to offer yoga at schools also. There are so many young kids facing so many challenges. What great tools yoga could teach them and those they come in contact with.
It also would be great to offer A.A. and groups like that.
I love yoga and think it is what everyone needs to add in their lives. I just don't want to come off as a whack job, so I find it hard to think of ways to introduce to friends and family. So when I see these types of articles it helps open the doors for communication.
