Research shows, meditation can help students be less stressed and more compassionate. For example, when a school in New Haven, Connecticut, required yoga and meditation classes three times a week for its incoming freshman, studies found that after each class, students had significantly reduced levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, in their bodies. And, in San Francisco, schools that participated in Quiet Time, a Transcendental Meditation program, had twice as many students score proficient in English on the California Achievement Test than in similar schools where the program didn’t exist. And lastly, a Visitacion Valley Middle School that started practicing yoga and meditation specifically reduced suspensions by 45 percent and during the program’s first year. Yoga is a wonderful tool to manage student stress and incorporate social and emotional learning into the physical education setting. Teaching yoga as part of the P.E. curriculum will give students access to skills necessary for confronting the anxiety of everyday life. Please consider donating. Giving students the opportunity to develop their practice on yoga mats will create a meaningful learning experience for kids. Namaste!
