Ahimsa School

Karl Straub, a Jivamukti yoga teacher and Regional Director for the Yoga Studies Institute (founded by Geshe Michael Roach), along with some friends in NYC, have begun a project called Ahimsa School. The mission of Ahimsa School is to "promote a culture of peace and non-violence, understanding, tolerance, and appreciation of world cultures, religions, and ethnicities, to develop and equip young people for happy, compassionate, and non-violent lives of personal, civic, and environmental responsibility." Their primary means of doing this is to provide schools wishing to implement education related to non-violence, peace education, and ethical behavior, with free or low-cost resources and materials, from guest speaker to videos and grade-appropriate lesson plans. Please visit their website for more information, and to learn how you can support this important educational vision.
