Lineage Project teaches throughout the NYC public school system, with a specific focus on working with students in suspension schools and in transfer high schools. Our school-based classes are typically scheduled as part of the regular school day. We teach full-year and semester-long programs.
Research on our work in a transfer high school shows students developed increased self-awareness, self-knowledge, and a more compassionate response to themselves and others.
“Ever since I’ve done yoga, my grades went up because I know how to sit in class and just take it all in.” — Student, Humanities Prep High School
“My students are often visibly stressed out at school and are very easily frustrated. They have a hard time sitting in class and concentrating on work. However, I notice that when given the time to practice yoga, they become much calmer and more able to focus for longer durations of time. They are able to feel, for a while, as the free children many of them never got to be.”
