Today on TeachHUB.com, we shine the proverbial spotlight on a relatively new classroom activity that’s been all the rage in some classrooms of late: Yoga.
Contributing writer James Paterson spells out yoga’s benefits in a well-researched centerpiece article today. He spells out yoga’s benefits for the body:
- Improves posture, alignment, and core strength.
- Reduces chance of injury.
- Improves digestion and circulation.
And for the mind:
- Expands imagination, creativity, and self-expression.
- Improves discipline and ability to be less reactive.
- Builds confidence and self-esteem.
James finished up his article like this: “Gonzalez, too, says the results will be evident quickly.
“Short breaks with movement like this can make a huge impact on classroom culture and climate, and student engagement. Daily repetition helps children integrate these practices and use them as tools in day-to-day life for a long time.”
