GroovYoga Dharma has been an empowering, eye-opening and rare opportunity for our students. The program has given them to space to explore their inner potential and the result is evident in their increased confidence in both the workplace and in class. The program has also strengthened the sense of community that we pride ourselves on, and we are so grateful for the opportunity that Kathi has given us to collaborate with other members in our community. We look forward to growing this program as we believe deeply in the positive and long-lasting impact it is making.

I have been teaching for more than 20 years and I have never encountered a teacher like Kathi and a program that has had such a profound, positive effect on students. The GroovYoga Dharma Program teaches life skills and encourages fitness and self-regulation in a fun, upbeat way that connected with the students. I have observed our students being more engaged and focused, more “comfortable in their own skin” with better eye contact, improved posture and respectfulness to teachers and empathy toward others. The improvement in the self confidence of the students has been amazing. Cristo Rey has already decided to offer this Program to our students again.

Dharma Discovery program provides wonderful sensory input & stimulation - Promotes awareness of their bodies & breathing - Coping methods when feeling anxious or upset and communication skills.

The participants enjoyed the program very much and have taken some of what they learned and do it on their own. It improved the mobility and physical fitness of some who rarely exercised before participating in GroovYoga. It enhanced their socialization skills, self-esteem, and cooperation skills."We can never thank you enough GroovYoga for what you do here every month for us!

I brought my Daisy Girl Scout troop to Groov Yoga two years in a row. The instructor engaged the girls at their age appropriate level. The girls had tons of fun dancing, tumbling and doing yoga. The structured class promotes good health and coordination, builds the girls' confidence and self esteem while they have fun in a safe environment. The staff was easy to coordinate with a well. My girls are being to go back!

It was great to see the energy and excitement from the boys and girls during the dharma yoga class. All the students were smiling and having fun during the dances . Ending with the yoga which required them to bring their focus inwards and calm their minds was an amazing sight to see with middle school students. Great exercise for the mind and body---that’s what dharma yoga offered my students!!!!!
