Program Description This program introduces basic yoga poses to students. In the lower grades, yoga is introduced through stories, games and creative movement. Children learn new ways to strengthen and stretch their bodies. For older students, the benefits of yoga and mindfulness are explained through a power point describing how the brain reacts to stress and relaxation. Yoga poses, breathing, mindfulness, creative movement and relaxation techniques are taught so that students can incorporate these new skills into their daily experiences to help control and reduce stress and anxiety. Children increase their body awareness, enhance their sense of well being and learn techniques to manage stress. A full day consists of up to six sessions.
