My Project

I have started implementing daily yoga into my classroom to help students mentally and physically. Studies show that yoga helps reduce anxiety, improve mood, and enhance students' concentration, which is particularly crucial during their formative years, assisting in developing coping mechanisms that are beneficial in the long run. Physically, regular yoga practice can improve flexibility, balance, endurance, and overall physical fitness. This is especially important at a young age, where developing a physical activity habit can lead to a healthier lifestyle in adulthood.

Additionally, yoga can be an effective tool for educational enhancement.

Integrating yoga into the classroom serves as a physical activity and a way to foster a better learning environment. Concentration, attention span, and even creativity can be improved through yoga, leading to better academic performance. Yoga will also be employed to break up long periods of sedentary learning with movement, making students more receptive and engaged, giving their brain breaks a better purpose.
