About Us
Headstand is a San Francisco-based organization committed to improving the academic, psychological, and physical health of students and teachers in Bay Area classrooms. Using standards-based YogaEd tools, Headstand works with public and private K-12 schools to transform classrooms into inspiring learning environments.
Trained yoga instructors introduce stretching, breathing, and visualization exercises to help increase concentration, reduce stress, and contribute to students' overall physical fitness.
Headstand uses YogaEdŽ curriculum, which meets state and national standards for physical education classes. We also provide professional development for educators through YogaEd Tools for Teachers. Healthy classrooms include healthy teachers, and these powerful tools help educators improve their own focus, concentration, and communication skills.
