HEADSTAND CHALLENGE | MINDFUL MAY: JUST A DOLLAR A DAY
by Headstand
Hope Van Sciver
Hello Friends and Family,
As some of you may know I began working with Headstand in the Fall of 2016. It has been a gift to have the opportunity to share my love of yoga and mindfulness with my students in the Bay Area public schools. Please support me as I raise funds and awareness for this year's Headstand Challenge!
Founded in 2008 by school teacher and yoga instructor Katherine Priore, Headstand offers a unique curriculum created in collaboration with experts in the fields of education, mindfulness, and yoga that fosters social emotional learning.
Headstand programming targets students in low-income communities, decreasing their levels of stress and anxiety - factors that inhibit the developing brain and hamper the ability to learn - while promoting physical activity and healthy habits of mind.
My goal is to enlist the help of family and friends to give a dollar a day in Mindful May. I hope to raise $5,000 for Headstand. That's enough to provide an entire year of Headstand to FIVE classrooms in my community!

Thank you for your support,
Hope Van Sciver
