Yoga at School

In view of promoting wellness and improving the quality of the children’s lives, MYS has  prioritised to expand its yoga teachings in schools. The introduction of yoga to children have been a fruitful endeavour as positive changeshave been noted in the children’s character, physical growth and mental stamina, and improvement of relationship with the society after attending yoga sessions.

In our school, we have a score of children who were from abusive or broken families and some had single parents, while others had parents who were in jail and many came from a financially poor background. Their behaviour and attitude towards studies lagged behind other children. As a measure to help them, we enrolled them into weekly yoga sessions offered by MYS.

Within 6 to 7 months, the students, especially the problematic ones and slow learners showed remarkable changes. The affected students appeared calmer, happier and showed tremendous improvement in their studies. They were able to calm down and showed reduced aggression in classrooms. The slow learners were slowly improving in their studies and were able to communicate with their teachers better. Overall class situation had become more conducive and the teachers were able to teach without stress as the discipline among the children had improved. Yoga has brought emotional and mental stability to the school children besides keeping them healthy physically.
