Why Yoga?
-
Motor Skill Development.
Children explore body movements and build spatial awareness through yoga. Yoga develops motor skills by giving students ample opportunities to practice movement, balance, and hand-eye coordination.
-
Emotions.
Yoga teaches self-awareness, self-regulation, and stress reduction. Students learn how to respond reflectively rather than reactively to life’s challenges. Yoga also nurtures emotional intelligence as students learn to consult their intuition when faced with complex life situations.
-
Stress.
Yoga relaxation gives students the opportunity to unwind and release their stress. Students learn many stress management techniques and choose the ones that work best for them.
-
Creativity.
A highly desirable skill, creativity is a marker of success in the modern workforce. Creativity is a natural part of learning that is directly related to innovation. Yoga postures, discussions, worksheets, and stories engage children’s imaginations.
-
Sleep.
In a study, the effects of yoga were tested on patients suffering from chronic insomnia - a debilitating sleep disorder which often leaves the sufferer unable to sleep for days at a time. Both participants showed a marked improvement in their sleep quality, stress levels, and severity of their insomnia after being given daily yoga sessions at home.
-
Confidence & Resilience.
Yoga is a valuable tool to assist with the mental practice of gaining control of emotional states. It helps us to learn how to effectively cope with automatic stress responses that may impede positive results. Yoga is the process of paying attention to the present moment and calming the mind to bring greater ease to even the most challenging situations. Through advanced yoga postures pupils are enabled to challenge themselves safely and practice postures that promote confidence and resilience. And breathing techniques that allow one to focus more on the present.

“It’s brilliant, all the teachers are really good fun. I get to work with people I don’t normally play with in school and made new friends. I like the games that we play. I love practicing the poses at home that I learnt in class. I really loved the relaxation at the start and the end of the lesson, it was really calming” - Year 6 Pupil

“Following Jay's success with our Senior pupils, we were delighted when Jay shared our interest in bringing yoga into the Primary. Jay has worked with our pupils from Years 4 to 6; all of whom thoroughly enjoy their weekly sessions. Jay creates a fantastically calm atmosphere and really brings the best out of the pupils. The sessions look to develop mindfulness and wellbeing, achieving this through engaging activities that are accessible for all pupils. Asking Jay to come and work with out Primary pupils has been a huge success and I cannot thank him enough for what he has accomplished in such a short space of time. Jay loves what he does and this comes through in each and every session.” - Mr Morgan, Assistant Head (Key Stage 2)
