Where We<br />
are Today<br />
Our story began in 2012, when we started with a small pilot program in Mission High<br />
School, offering yoga and wellness education as P.E credit to 20 students. Working with<br />
the students at Mission, we saw the powerful impact of integrating yoga and mindfulness<br />
into the school curriculum: students reported being better able to focus in class, feeling<br />
more energized, motivated and confident in themselves, and being able to effectively<br />
manage their stress and emotions. After our first program at Mission High School, we<br />
set forth to share this transformational practice with more teens across the Bay Area.<br />
Since then, RISE has expanded to 17 schools, serving students in San Francisco, Alameda,<br />
San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.<br />
17 sites. 1,400 Students. Ages 12 - 19<br />
