Over spring break Fearing Yoga of West Linn held a "Mats for Teens" fundraiser donating 20 yoga mats to the Ackerman Academy yoga students. We are grateful and humbled by this generous gift. Our students enrolled in yoga are beyond thrilled about their new mats. This class incorporates physical postures, breathing techniques, and activities that foster connection to oneself and to others so that students can lead healthier and happier lives as well as receive a PE credit. Donations such as this allows our students to effectively participate in yoga, before the students had nothing now they each have a mat to call their own.
To show their appreciation, each student wrote a thank you note to Fearing Yoga letting them know how their donation and this class is impacting their lives. Below are some excerpts from their thank you notes.
"I really appreciate your help in making sure we, the students of Ackerman Academy have not only the mats to practice and perform yoga, but to also call them our own."
"I want to say thank you for donating to Mr Fearing's "Mats for Teens" fundraiser. Our new mats are amazing!"
"I have learned many things...the main things being how to better center my breathing, how to clear my mind, and how to fully relax."
"Yoga class seems to help get a fresh start of the morning!...once again I thank you and all of Mr. Fearing's Yoga class for the support of Ackerman."
"It starts my day relaxed, happy and peaceful."
