funding for children's yoga

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam

Since January 2008 I have had a contract with a residential tx facility

for children in So Cal. I have taught a weekly class first for girls

and this summer I began one for boys. The boys (10-12 yo) are finally

beginning to settle down and love the yoga. I am paid through Dept of

Mental health funds (county and state) and was told 2 weeks ago that

they may have to suspend the classes due to lack of DMH funding. Last

year I had considered writing a grant to fund this program (through

their rec therapy dept) and then got busy with other things. it would

be a shame to have to stop classes abruptly.

The kids love them, we have taken some preliminary measures of the

effect on their behavior and staff would love classes too.

Would appreciate suggestions on any foundations that might be availabel

to fund such a project.
