Mindfulness has benefits for at-risk students. It is a way to build healthy emotions and steer away from inappropriate behaviors. With spectrum being on the rise for children, it helps them find peace within and a way to calm the soul rather than react. It helps relieve anxiety and depression. We have gone full day to incorporate this social-emotional area in our day as well as keeping students longer to keep them in a more positive environment instead of going home to negative role models and conditions of living are often not healthy for the body as well as the eyes in what they see when they go home.
The requested yoga mats will serve as their own place to relax and breathe and will provide students their own spot to meditate. There will be opportunities for yoga directed and free lance. Mats will be used on a daily basis.
