"Darrell" was a challenge! A sixth-grader in an inner-city school in Philadelphia, his teachers felt he was defiant, aggressive, inattentive and impulsive – quite a handful. After Niroga’s one-day Transformative Life/Leadership Skills (TLS) training, the assistant principal, Ryane, felt up to the challenge and tested her training by working with Darrell on TLS. After just a few minutes of mindful movement and rhythmic breathing together, Ryane felt a shift. "It was nothing dramatic, but I could sense a subtle difference in Darrell as he left my office that day," she said.
