Our Story
Bent On Learning was founded in 2001 by three passionate yoga teachers who aimed to bring the transformative power of yoga to youth. Initially a small volunteer effort in a few New York City public schools, the organization quickly expanded in response to the events of September 11th, providing essential support to children in need. Today, Bent On Learning is a nationally recognized nonprofit that has served 76 schools and over 22,000 students, making yoga and mindfulness a core part of the school day for children from Pre-K through 12th grade.
