Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Many of my fifth graders haven't had the easiest life since they came to this planet ten to twelve years ago. Many come from single-parent homes, where they are one of many children. About half of my students have health conditions like asthma, which can make it hard for them to walk up and down stairs or participate in sports. For these and many other reasons, I'd like to introduce yoga to my students since it can help to develop a strong, flexible, and healthy body. As a fifth-grade teacher of twenty-six children in East Harlem, I am searching for ways to promote physical well-being, as well as emotional wellness in my students. Yoga has many benefits, among others: 1. Helping children relax. 2. Helping to increase children's ability to focus. 3. Improving bronchial asthma since yoga training often results in increased lung function and exercise capacity in young asthmatics. 4. Helping to open rounded shoulders, which are common in asthmatics and prevent the proper use of the lungs. 5. Building self-confidence in children. As you can see, the potential benefits of yoga for children are enormous. Hence, I'd like to bring in two yoga instructors once a week for eight weeks to teach my children the basics of yoga. Please help me bring the joy of yoga to my students so they can be exposed to all of the rich benefits that yoga can give to them.
