Yoga is more than meditation, it is about properly knowing how to breathe and using your breathe and your body as healing. This past week we focused on “Settle In” activity which focused the students to center their mind and focus on each other. The key takeaways was that they were able to focus more and be at peace with their surroundings. Bryce said” Yoga helped me to calm down when I was feeling upset.” This activity helps students like Bryce to help them with anxiety, and feel safe within the school environment. By using these techniques consistently this helps students have a calm state of mind, and focus on class, testing and more.
