It's hard to sit in a classroom for 8 hours each day being expected to sit still and do work. That's why it is important to give students a healthy break from their demanding day! Yoga helps students unwind, improve motor skills, focus their attention, develops their self-confidence, and promotes a healthy lifestyle. Yoga allows your classroom to become a calm environment where students can learn to become present. Our children often live in a hurry-up world with busy parents, homework, sports, friends, and games. Adults often think that children are not affected by life's stressors and that they have life so easy. That is simply not true. Children are affected just as adults by different kinds of pressures. Yoga helps counter those pressures. Children learn self-health, relaxation, self-esteem, and body awareness.
