Too often students, especially students from low income area are dealing with many stressful issues. These issues prevent children from focusing on learning. Skills taught using Yoga and Mindfulness before and after school to help them recognize and deal with stress in a healthy way, it is something students will take with them throughout life. With any sport we can "get by" on a hard gym floor but I wish to show the students that we value them and their program by using the proper yoga mats. I believe too often we don't see behavior issues as something we can or should deal with at school. If believe IF we can teach these skills then the students can focus on becoming a successful student and teachers will be more successful teachers.
