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.
My Project
Yoga and mindfulness: what a great way to help students keep focused, improve balance, and gain confidence. Students at my school come from many countries around the globe. I teach yoga and mindfulness at my school. Teaching the younger children balancing poses is quite a task. Some students are able to hold a yoga pose, while it's a challenge for others. Therefore, students become frustrated, lose focus, and just want to quit. Providing students with wiggle seats/wobble cushions will assist them with coordination and balance ---a perfect way for them to persevere and keep focused.
Wiggle, Wobble, Steady & Focus!
These students like to move a lot! I don't mind their wiggles, but I would love to see them have focus, balance, and build their confidence. These mats for yoga are the answer! I have one right now and the students take turns with it. It works so well to get the student to focus! I would love to see these children all have their own mats and all be able to focus and balance in their yoga practice and meditation.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
