My students are hard working students who attend a rigorous dual mission, performing arts high school. The students are overwhelmed with homework, rehearsals, performances, and examinations. These students lead very stressful lives. Some of them, despite their young age, are already beginning to manifest signs of stress-related illnesses: panic attacks, anxiety attacks, insomnia, digestive distress, migraines, and fatigue. Practicing yoga and meditation helps them a great deal as it helps them exercise, boosts their energy, cope with stress, and aids in relaxation. My students have expressed a deep gratitude for the yoga elective. I have approximately 500 students. Some will not receive their mats under this project. Therefore, because of the great need, we will submit projects until each student receives their own yoga mat.
