What is IMPLEMENT?
The Yoga 4 Classrooms IMPLEMENT program was developed to inspire and
empower schools to affordably, effectively, and sustainably integrate yoga and
mindfulness school-wide by providing training and resources to encourage and
support implementation from the inside.
Our IMPLEMENT Leader Training is our advanced training program for
school-based teams and individual school professionals who wish to launch
and maintain Yoga 4 Classrooms as a school-wide initiative supporting
physical, social and emotional health and wellness, learning-readiness and a
positive school climate. Join us for 6 hours of online home study, plus 2.5 days
