Too many kids are coming to school with stress, anxiety and low self - esteem. Through daily practice of yoga, kids are able to build their confidence by creating a flow through their mind and body. Each yoga session will allow for increased blood flow, coordination and relaxation which in turn will improve self - esteem, memory, focus and academic performance. New research studies have now found that playful and interactive yoga has helped children with with hyperactivity and impulsivity which creates less classroom behaviors and enhances mindfulness.
Yoga and mindfulness have become increasingly popular and have shown to have positive effects both physically and mentally with our youth. To help create the necessary environment to reduce stress and anxiety, I have asked for help in purchasing fluorescent light covers. It has been found that fluorescent lights create a negative impact on children causing poor interactions with their peers, lowering comfort, increasing stress and negative behaviors, and most importantly, impacting meaningful learning. Being able to use light filtering covers will allow for a calm environment and promote mindfulness, self - regulation and improvement of focus and productiveness.
Thank you in advance for allowing my students to have the tools necessary to reduce their stress and anxiety and improve their overall academic performance!! The yoga mats are going to make a huge difference!!
