There’s a new effort to help Flint school children and teachers deal the stress of the city’s lead tainted drinking water.

Yoga classes were held at two Flint schools last week.

Mark Williams is with Gaia, an organization that promotes Yoga and inner peace.

“You know, as you make your way through life, you have these tools in your back pocket, now you have a chance of succeeding better,” says Williams.

Williams says more yoga outreach efforts are planned.
