My Project
Students today are under an enormous amount of stress. They have specific stressors at home, in their neighborhoods, and at school. Many students try to relieve stress in a variety of ways, some of which are not positive, helpful, or beneficial.
Yoga is a great way to increase and improve personal fitness through stretching and strengthening the muscles, and for providing mindfulness through movement while incorporating deep breathing techniques.
Yoga mats provide students with their own space where they can focus, improving their well-being, where they can be physically safe while taking care of their bodies, minds, and spirits. With these mats in the classroom, we can take care of ourselves so we are ready to tackle classwork.
