Every week small groups of seventh and eighth grade students will gather together to slow down! That's right! Energetic middle school students will have the opportunity to learn to quiet their minds and be present in the moment. They will learn breathing techniques and how to become aware of their environment to re-focus their wandering minds. Learning to be present and connected to their bodies will help them manage their emotions and provide them with coping skills to prevent those possible explosive moments very common with this age. Instead of coming home and saying school was boring, they will get to say they did something fun! Yoga involves movement. Movement that will challenge them both mentally and physically. It will help students find a healthy way to take care of their bodies using a method they would not normally get the opportunity to have on a regular daily basis. Through providing students with tools such as yoga mats and blocks, we can create a more centered and grounded group of young people who are typically described as neither. Help me make a part of school fun!
