| Inner city youths are being taught simple meditation techniques and yoga for beginners. There is evidence that shows those kids exposed to relaxation techniques are less stressed out and do better in their classes.
Inner city youths in a West Baltimore neighborhood are trying a new way to cope with chronic stress.

Now that they have grown up they want to bring the yoga message to the kids who can benefit the most. |
