New Leaf Yoga Gala Featuring Eastdale Student Responses

    Once again Eastdale students have the wonderful opportunity to experience New Leaf Yoga every week. Students are guided through the practices of Yoga and Mindfulness. These practices help the students understand how internal and external stimuli can effect their everyday lives and it helps them check in with how they are feeling both mentally and physically.

      New Leaf Yoga runs a Gala every year so that they can raise funds to be able to run these programs at minimal cost to the school or students. For this year's Gala, Eastdale students were asked to write down on a card, what they would like to tell their younger selves. Several of the responses were very heartfelt and moving. Each student had their picture taken with their card which was pre Eastdale was well represented at the Gala, with these pictures being displayed on the main stage.   

       A lot of money was raised at the Gala and Eastdale will continue to have a strong partnership with New Leaf Yoga to help our students battle the daily stressors they face each day.
Thanks to Mr. Nizich and Ms. Johnston for their involvement with New Leaf Yoga.
