Is there a certain organization that the Toluca Lake School used? I'm also in the SFV and interested in kid yoga classes and meditations on a private basis. I've tried to google it and had trouble. Is there a list of close Valley places to go? After school and Sat? I'd like to bring up such a program at my son's private school. Is there a certain organization that the Toluca Lake School used?

I am an independent fitness instructor in Brookings, Oregon. I specialize in stress reduction training. I give two free classes a month at the library, I’m giving classes at the community college, and I'm now working with teachers to implement an after-school stress reduction training program for the Brookings-Harbor School District. I will give two classes a week for all teachers, students, and support staff. I see this as a ministry of service, so I do not charge for my services. I depend on the financial kindness of the community. My background is Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Hatha Yoga (since the 70s). But..... I do not teach those practices, nor do I teach meditation. Rather, I use their foundations to focus strictly on a simple technique of stress reduction that can be used anywhere, anytime, under any situation – standing or sitting. And, those who have learned this simple technique can train those around them. Once I have the school program in force, I intend to help the City staff, including the police department and the fire department. Simply put, Brookings is my model of success. From here, I shall go nationwide. Yes, it's time we take care of our own, especially our children. Want to know more? Talk to Kurt Nadar or Charles Kocher, publisher of the Curry Coastal Pilot, the local newspaper (541-469-3124). Michael J. D'Angelo I love your article.

I am 19 years old and I am also from Romania. I like to state that the important things are: to know yourself (Socrates), to know what you want, to know your limits and to push them further. Therefore education in my opinion should always help a person know the rules of the game based upon the view of the society and the individual abilities. I hope I got it all right...as well as I hope to read something new soon! Hello!

Schools, as places for learning, could do a better job at developing important mental skills such as attention and emotional self-regulation, and meditation can be a great tool for that.
