The exercise mats I have requested for my classroom will benefit student learning in a number of ways. First and foremost, students who have an abundance of stress in their lives are not able to learn or process information proficiently. My students have endured situations that include death, drug overdoses, broken families, physical and mental abuse, among many other life events. At their tender age of 12-13 years old, they need a positive way to combat that stress. This is why I have developed the idea of introducing meditation to students as a way to combat stress, depression, and anxiety. The majority of students who develop these disorders do so before the age of 17. If they have the opportunity to learn how to channel that negative energy or experience into something positive, it is a skill that can alter the trajectory of their entire life.
