These yoga mats will make a difference in my students learning by helping my students relax. I plan on doing a 15 minute yoga session every day after lunch. These mats will only be used in school. I will be putting calm instrumental music on and teach my students breathing techniques and certain stretches that will be beneficial to my students mind and body. These materials will make a difference in my students learning because yoga can be used as an alternative therapy. It is proven to increase concentration, flexibility, and strength. It can also develop coordination and reduce stress and anxiety.
