ALL ABOUT STRETCH

Since 2011, our mission has been to empower youth to enhance their life prospects through yoga, constructive communication, improved English literacy, numeracy and digital skills. By fostering acceptance in place of anger, trust in place of anxiety, by transforming challenges into opportunities and mistakes into stepping stones, we empower youth to take charge of their own happiness.

​

Since 2015, qualified yoga instructors have given weekly  yoga classes during life orientation to high school and primary school learners. The school teachers feel learners are more focused, less anxious and calmer after yoga classes.

​

Since 2018, we have introduced reading initiatives in schools within the Alexandra Township. Our offerings include a tailored Phonographix English tutoring program and a range of specialized skills, methods, and approaches to cater to individual learning needs.

​

Since 2023, Stretch Alumni who have early childhood development training run an after-school program to help children improve their school marks, gain confidence and improve their literacy and numeracy skills through play. The Stretch team believes play is our brain's favorite way learning.
