Headstand is an innovative non-profit organization that brings stress reduction techniques and yoga to youth in economically-disadvantaged communities. 

Headstand’s curriculum is research-based and blends yoga exercise with integrated educational theory and social and emotional learning. Headstand brings higher levels of academic achievement, lower stress levels, and physical and mental fitness to students through yoga, breathing, and meditation techniques. 


Headstand is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives.

KIPP Summit students are in their fourth progressive year of regular yoga programming.  Check out this feature with Erica Hill and see why school suspensions are down and testing scores are up at KIPP Summit Academy! 

Headstand is thrilled to announce the  kickoff of our K-12 programs on the east coast! 

Please join us on May 9, 2012 for our Spring Launch Event in Washington D.C.
