My project is to bring yoga into the classroom to enhance students' academic learning! There are many benefits of doing Yoga with students! Yoga helps provide a peaceful and productive classroom. It helps with brain boosting, clearing the mind, mindful action, visualization, positive thinking, helps with focus, concentration, and builds student confidence. Yoga helps students maintain appropriate behavior and helps students get better grades! Children learn how to exercise with calming movements and postures that help them gain strength and endurance through breathing exercises. Some of the resources I am asking for are visual cards that display the movement and postures for students to learn about and practice the poses. There is also an amazing book that gives support and help for students to follow. Yoga mats and clip boards will also allow students a physical area they can go to for support and practice with their skills. Because children encounter emotional, social, and physical challenges, yoga teaches students valuable strategies and provides tools for them to combat conflicts, stress, and anxiety through mindfulness. Yoga encourages wellness, addressing the whole child, socially and emotionally! What students practice and learn, by incorporating yoga into their education, not only helps them perform better academically and emotionally in the classroom, but it helps them in their everyday lives as well. As a teacher, I practices yoga everyday, and I have seen positive benefits in my own life. I am excited to share this valuable knowledge with my students to enhance their educational experience! In advance, I want to thank all those who help make this project a reality and success for my students and me! Namasta!
