Community Outreach

In all of our groups we keep in mind the developmental stages of our participants. For the youngest participants we include time for large-motor activity. Teaching yoga has not only allowed the participants to move, but help ground them at the start of each group session. This group is demonstrating their 'tree pose'.

The Davis family who joined The Garden October 2006

Why did you choose the garden? “It is local, has a great reputation and is primarily focused on kids – which is very important to me as a single parent.”

Has it helped? If so how? “It has helped all of us realize again and again that we are not alone in our experience or unique or different. It is a place where we can join with others to feel sad feelings and to find ways to better and happier times.
