Would you like to include a mindful practice in your students school routine?
For children that struggle with the competitiveness of school sports, yoga can be the perfect alternative. It’s completely inclusive, and focuses on each child’s own personal achievements. It is a wonderful sport to help every child feel included, and can really give a boost of confidence to those who typically shy away from sports. It is a great way to build strength, balance and confidence, and is fast becoming a popular form of exercise within schools.
There is a growing body of research proving the exciting theory that yoga positively impacts the physical and mental health of school-age children. Incorporating a mindful practice like yoga into the school day has been shown to improve focus, memory, academic performance, and classroom behaviour — a win for both students and staff.
We offer yoga classes at primary schools and nurseries within Lichfield and the surrounding areas.
In schools, yoga typically works really well as an after-school club; the students go home feeling positive and calm, and most parents can make use of an extra hour after school time. It also works well at lunchtime, or as part of a before-school breakfast club. For a more inclusive practice across the board, we can offer yoga as part of your weekly curriculum within the school day.
Yoga is used in schools all across the world as a way to enhance learning, improve focus and memory and develop social skills in young children. It’s a wonderful way to encourage students to prioritise their physical and mental health, and the benefits leave our children feeling focused and fulfilled.
In nurseries, yoga can be a wonderful opportunity for little ones to have fun through yoga, song, movement and play, all whilst building stronger friendships with their fellow students. We use storytelling to guide the children through basic yoga poses, breathing exercises and fun games, using relatable stories to help our youngest students develop strong emotional intelligence and react positively to the world around them.
